D.C. United News Release


United have announced that they will host an NCAA Division 1 Men's Soccer match between the University of Maryland and the University of Virginia on Sept. 3 at the Black-and-Red's new state-of-the-art, soccer-specific stadium at Audi Field in the first-ever collegiate game at the venue.

"We're excited to host two of the nation's most elite collegiate soccer programs at Audi Field in September," Dave Kasper, United general manager and VP of soccer operations, said. "Both schools have longstanding history with D.C. United and it's our pleasure to host them as the first-ever college game in our world class stadium."

The Black-and-Red currently have three former Maryland Terrapins on their roster: Taylor Kemp (2009-2012), Patrick Mullins (2010-2013) and Chris Odoi-Atsem (2013-2016). Head coach Ben Olsen played for the University of Virginia from 1995 to 1997 before he was allocated to United as a Project-40 player (now known as Generation adidas) on Dec. 27, 1997.

Tickets are available to purchase through an exclusive presale for D.C. United Season Ticket Members at a discounted rate. Season Ticket Members will receive an e-mail with a link and promotional code to purchase tickets.

Tickets for the match will be available to the general public for purchase through Ticketmaster starting Friday, May 25 at 10:00 AM ET.

United also announced on April 26 that Audi Field will host its first women's professional soccer match when the Washington Spirit face reigning National Women's Soccer League Champion Portland Thorns FC on Aug. 25.

Audi Field, the first soccer-specific stadium to be constructed in the District, will feature a total capacity of 20,000 seats, 1,500 club seats, 31 luxury suites and a bike valet along with 500,000 total square feet of mixed-use retail and residential space on site.
