The match between Chivas and Juventus FC is the latest high-level, world-class soccer match to come to the Triangle and WakeMed Soccer Park in 2011. The U.S. Men's National Team twice came to the area during the spring in preparation for a friendly against Argentina and the CONCACAF Gold Cup. On May 18, the U.S. Women's National Team squared-off against Japan in what proved to be a preview of the World Cup Final.
