Chattanooga Football Club will host Futbol Club Atlas of Guadalajara, Mexico, at 7 p.m. Saturday at Finley Stadium.
This exhibition match, or “friendly” as the soccer world calls it, will mark the beginning of the 2010 campaign for Chattanooga FC.
FC Atlas plays in Mexico’s Primera Division, the top flight of Mexican professional soccer. They will face Chattanooga FC with their Under 23 team, the last stop for players in the Atlas academy system before they join the professional team.
The game promises to be a level of soccer that will amaze spectators. This “should raise the bar and awareness on soccer in Chattanooga,” said Chattanooga FC board member Krue Brock.
Tickets for ages 7 and up are $10 in advance, $15 on game day (free for younger children). Purchase online at www.chattanoogafc.com. Parking in adjacent lots is $2.
