Before the 2016 campaign kick-off, NYCFC will have a chance to see what their squad looks like. Even though the inaugural season ended just two months ago, NYCFC faces the Puerto Rican National Team this Friday. The players landed yesterday to begin light training and addressed the media.
This Puerto Rican team has been seen before facing USA clubs for friendlies as last season they went up against the semi-pro club, the New York Cosmos which was televised. Despite the transfer rumors surrounding certain NYCFC players such as Andrea Pirlo and Frank Lampard, last year’s group made the trip.
