Following this morning’s U.S. Open Cup draw, D.C. United will host New York City FC in the Round of 16. The game’s date and time have not been announced, but per U.S. Soccer’s directives, it has to be played between June 18-23. United has not yet confirmed a venue, but there is every reason to believe the game will be at Audi Field.
The Black-and-Red have never faced NYCFC in cup competition, in part because the Pigeons have not had much success in Open Cup play. In fact, NYCFC’s 4-0 win over North Carolina FC last night was the first time they have ever advanced past the first hurdle in the tournament.
