Seattle Reign FC to Travel to California and Costa Rica for Preseason

Seattle Reign FC today announced its plan for the 2024 preseason, beginning with players reporting to the club’s training grounds, Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila, on Wednesday, January 24. Immediately after reporting for preseason, players will travel to Newport Beach, California to begin training camp.

“This time together, away from market, is key for the team and staff to be able to focus on setting the tone for the season,” said Reign FC General Manager Lesle Gallimore. “This creates an environment where, as a new group, we can begin to build relationships that foster the winning, competitive and united team mentality that makes us Seattle Reign FC.”

The team will train in the warmer climate of Southern California through January 30, before departing to Alajuela, Costa Rica to continue preseason training. The Reign will train at the facility of one of the most successful football clubs from Costa Rica, Liga Deportiva Alajuelense, until February 10.

“We’re really excited to travel to Costa Rica for the first time in club history,” said Reign FC Associate General Manager Santiago Gallo. “This is not only an opportunity for the team to kick off preseason at a high level of play, but to establish a meaningful connection with the community, on and off the pitch.”
