As the team gears up for Pride on the Pitch, we sat down with each player to find out what Unity means to them.
About Pride on the Pitch:
On June 5, the first 5,000 fans through the gates will receive a limited-edition rainbow themed New Mexico United flag. Plus, a national anthem performance by the New Mexico Gay Men’s Chorus’ outreach ensemble, the NM QTones, and limited-edition rainbow themed merchandise!
