Detroit City FC is back in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.
For the second-straight year, Le Rouge will be representing the National Premier Soccer League in the oldest tournament competition in the United States. While the team’s first-round match is set for May 13, the match time, location and opponent – which will be determined on a geographic basis –will be announced in early April.
No matter the opponent, City will be eager to avenge last year’s defeat at the hands of Chicago-based club, RWB Adria. The match on May 8, 2014, saw Adria score a goal in the last minute of stoppage time, which led to a 2-2 draw at the end of regulation. After a back and forth affair in an extra-time session that saw three red cards between both teams, City fell in penalty kicks, 3-1.
Detroit joins 12 other NPSL clubs in the 102nd edition of the tournament, with a record 91 United States Soccer Federation affiliated teams from across all divisions participating in total.
