The Union will host Eintracht Frankfurt, one of the better clubs in Germany’s Bundesliga, in an international friendly at Talen Energy Stadium on July 14.
As of now, it’s likely to be the Union’s only summer friendly against an international opponent.
Eintracht’s headline name to American fans is Timothy Chandler, an on-and-off U.S. national team right back with 29 caps. The 27-year-old’s relationship with the national team has been a bit fractious over the years, but his talents have long been well-known.
There’s also a strong Mexican influence on the roster, from forward Marco Fabian and defender Carlos Salcedo — though they might not come here if they’re on El Tri’s World Cup squad.
