A dedication ceremony for a soon-to-be built sports complex at Potomac Shores.
The new complex will be named after Ali Krieger, member of the 2015 U.S. Women’s Soccer World Cup Championship team. Krieger grew up in Montclair and went to Forest Park High School.
A ceremony will be held 1 p.m. Monday, Oct. 12, at 17700 Dominican Drive in Dumfries. Krieger is expected to attend the ceremony.
The Prince William County Parks Department originally scheduled a ceremony for Oct. 10 but rescheduled when it learned Krieger could not make that date.
Prince William County Potomac District Supervisor Maureen Caddigan pushed to name the new sports complex after Krieger.
“The naming of the complex is most appropriate. Ali and her team are all world cup champions. Yes, the womens team are world cup champions this year. I was glued to my TV watching the game; I wouldn’t take any phone calls, and I usually don’t do that,” said Caddigan.
When it’s built, the new sports complex will be located at 2400 River Heritage Boulevard in the new Potomac Shores neighborhood.
