After over a year playing mostly closed door or unannounced friendlies on the training field in Chester, Philadelphia Union II is more than ready for the curtain to raise on its inaugural game in the new MLS Next Pro league at Subaru Park on Sunday afternoon.
“It’s an opportunity to showcase what this club is and has been building over the last year,” head coach Marlon LeBlanc said this week.
After exiting the USL Championship following the 2020 season, Union II went ahead scheduling games on their own while waiting the launch of the third division MLS Next Pro.
