FRISCO, Texas (Monday, Jan. 26, 2014) – FC Dallas will travel to San Antonio to take on NASL side San Antonio Scorpions in its final tune-up of the preseason at Toyota Field on Saturday, Feb. 28, the club announced today.
“San Antonio is a high-quality organization with great leadership at the top in owner Gordon Hartman,” said FC Dallas President Dan Hunt. “They’re the defending NASL Champions. They’ll be a great opponent for us. The game will be very competitive – an ideal match to help us prepare for our season-opener here in Dallas the following weekend.”
The game is scheduled to kick off at 7 p.m. CT. Last season, both teams played first-choice lineups in front of a sellout crowd of 7,967 fans at Toyota Field with the Alamo City boys scoring a stoppage-time goal to earn the 1-1 draw.
“We appreciate deeproot Funds once again showing their commitment to Soccer For A Cause and top-level soccer in San Antonio by making this match against MLS competition possible,” said Scorpions President and General Manager Howard Cornfield. “We have the utmost respect for the entire FC Dallas organization and I hope our fans welcome them back to Toyota Field with another loud, packed stadium.”
