STATESBORO, Ga. - South Georgia Tormenta FC kicks off its preseason lineup tomorrow, Saturday, March 13, against 2018 MLS Cup champion Atlanta United FC in a closed-door friendly. The club's preseason lineup also includes matches against the USL Championship's Tampa Bay Rowdies and Charlotte Independence and the Georgia Southern University men's soccer team.

"We have an exciting preseason lineup, which will provide some really strong tests early in the development of this young group," TFC Head Coach Ian Cameron said. "Atlanta United is a cool game for our boys and our organization. We're the only two professional soccer organizations in the state of Georgia, and we already have a good relationship on the youth development end. Our players are young and hungry to show they can one day play at the MLS level, so this will give them firsthand experience of that level and how close they are to reaching it.

"The Tampa Bay Rowdies have been one of the USL Championship's most consistent performers under Neill Collins, so that game will provide us the second test in a row where the opposition is better than us, and we will have to execute training fundamentals to a very high standard to simply compete. We have a great working relationship with Georgia Southern and Coach Murphy, and his staff is equally responsible as our staff for growing soccer within our community. Each year, this game serves as a celebration of our work together. Charlotte Independence closes out our preseason schedule on April 3 and will be a perfect test in preparation for starting USL League One play in April. Coach Jeffries and his staff are always skilled at acquiring top talent to their organization, and it will be fun as ever to compete with them as a final dress rehearsal for the 2021 campaign."
