Union Academy to face Rapids, Pumas and FC Tokyo in GA Cup

The Union Academy will travel to Frisco, Texas to compete in the consolation Premiership bracket of the U17 Generation adidas Cup March 18-26.

Major League Soccer revealed the draw for the 2016 Generation adidas Cup on Friday, and while the Philadelphia Union Academy didn't qualify for the Champions Division of the tournament, they will be facing youth teams from three different countries.

The Union drew Colorado Rapids, Mexican club UNAM Pumas and FC Tokyo in their Premiership Division bracket of the annual U17 tournament. The Union won the cup back in 2012 before international teams were invited.
