(Thanks to Patrick Sullivan for this great look back at the first Chattanooga vs. Atlanta match. Portions of this article were written by me in this post from September 30, 2015)
On Saturday, February 11, 2017 Atlanta United will play its first ever game against Chattanooga FC at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga. The friendly match will take place almost 105 years after the first soccer game was played between two sides representing Atlanta and Chattanooga on the afternoon of February 22, 1912.

“A hard fight has been waged in Atlanta for soccer football and now that victory is in sight all interested should stick to the club and be right on the job when the trip to Chattanooga is made.
