Frank B. Fuhrer International Friendly Series
editIn summer 2013, the Riverhounds introduced the Frank B. Fuhrer International Friendly Series, an intended annual international friendly match pitting the Riverhounds against top clubs from around the world. The series was named after investor and local businessman Frank B. Fuhrer, who was also former owner of the Pittsburgh Spirit indoor soccer team.[6] The first edition of the series was held on July 19, 2013 as the Riverhounds fell 1–4 against reigning FA Cup holders Wigan Athletic.[7] Despite being announced as an annual event, only one match has been held.
