Atlanta United today announced its Unified Team will participate in the “Unified We Play” competition. The Unified Team, which is part of MLS WORKS’ collaboration with Special Olympics to form the Unified Sports Soccer Exchange Program, brings players both with and without intellectual disabilities to play together on the same team. Atlanta United’s Unified Team had its annual Signing Day and subsequent 2020 season suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In its place, Atlanta United coordinated a virtual Signing Day and worked with seven other MLS clubs’ Unified Teams to organize a virtual competition to kick-off a modified 2020 campaign.
