Bethlehem Steel FC isn't able to compete in the competition, but that doesn't mean some of their players can't.
Earlier this year when U.S. Soccer announced that MLS-owned teams in the USL would no longer be eligible to compete in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, it was a big blow to the Bethlehem Steel FC fanbase.
The first iteration of Bethlehem Steel after all is still tied for the most ever Open Cup trophies with five. The Open Cup is a huge part of the legacy of a club that competed from 1907-1930 and got its name from a company that went bankrupt in 2001.
