D.C. United has finalized plans to host Spain’s Real Betis on May 22, the MLS organization’s first friendly against a European club since Audi Field opened last summer.
The match will fall four days after Betis’s La Liga finale against Real Madrid.
The Betis roster features Mexican national team players Andres Guardado and Diego Lainez, and Argentina’s Giovani Lo Celso. Seville-based Los Beticos, founded in 1907, will visit the United States for the first time.
They are eighth in 20-team La Liga and lost in the UEFA Europa League’s round of 32 and in Copa del Rey’s semifinals.
