The Charleston Battery will welcome Minnesota United FC and fellow MLS clubs Atlanta United and Columbus Crew SC to MUSC Health Stadium this coming February for the 2018 Carolina Challenge Cup (CCC).
This year’s CCC will be the 14th staging of the tournament. The Charleston Battery first held CCC in 2004, becoming one of the first lower-division American soccer clubs to host multiple MLS teams for preseason. The tournament has offered soccer fans in South Carolina the opportunity to see international superstars play in Charleston for more than a decade.
“Preseason is always a critical time to set the tone and build the foundation for the regular season,” said Head Coach Adrian Heath.
