FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Revolution (0-2-1, 1 pt.) will return home to host MLS expansion side FC Cincinnati (1-1-1, 4 pts.) in the clubs' first-ever meeting on Sunday, March 24 at Gillette Stadium. The match kicks off at 4:00 p.m. ET and will be televised locally on NBC Sports Boston, with Brad Feldman, Paul Mariner, and Naoko Funayama calling the action.
