The Seattle Sounders will reportedly play a preseason game against Uruguay powerhouse Peñarol on Jan. 22 in Los Angeles.
While the report is still unconfirmed, it would make some sense. Peñarol is also rumored to be playing LAFC at Banc of California Stadium on Jan. 22, which would fulfill part of terms of Brian Rodriguez’s transfer last season. At the time, Peñarol had expressed some openness to that game being part of a mini-cup or playing a slate of games during their own preseason tour.
This would mark the second straight year that the Sounders have played a team from Uruguay during the preseason.
