Following the Washington Spirit’s loss to the Orlando Pride in the National Women’s Soccer League championship game this past Saturday, fans are expressing their enduring support for the team with a rally at Audi Field on Monday evening.

To honor the Spirit’s largely successful season, the Washington Spirit Fan Appreciation Rally will gather outside the soccer stadium from 6 to 8 PM for festivities hosted by sports commentators Haiya Kofler and Bram Weinstein. Expect player appearances, speeches, a live DJ set, merch sales, and—of course—road closures.

DC police have only announced one definite road closure ahead of the rally, but a slew of other streets could close at any time Monday if there’s a public safety need.
