Reggie White Boulevard will be closed in front of Finley Stadium from 8:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. on Saturday for the Chattanooga Football Club/Atlanta United FC soccer match.

On Saturday afternoon, Finley will host a friendly between Chattanooga FC and Atlanta United FC, an expansion team in Major League Soccer.

Saturday's 3 p.m. exhibition will be Atlanta's first match as a team.
