Women belong in all places, including sports.

International Women's Day is March 8. To celebrate this year, Atlanta United hosted Women & Girls in Sports Night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium during the club's match against New York Red Bulls.

Women and girls show up each and every matchday, but this Saturday was all about them getting their flowers.

Women led the way for the traditional supporters' march to the stadium from Lot 17. Leaders from supporter groups organized the march and led with a sign that read, 'Not Just Boys' Fun.'

Retail made by women, for women

Earlier in the week, Atlanta United released their custom-made retail line, made for women, by women. And women supporters came in droves to the Team store to excitedly purchase clothes made and designed specifically for them. The crewneck sweatshirt, tank top, scarf and hats were evident all around the stadium.
