US Soccer today hosted the draw for the round of 32 of this year’s US Open Cup. The third round of the tournament concluded last night with 24 teams advancing being joined by the final eight MLS teams, who all received byes because of their 2021 finish. The 32 teams were grouped into eight pods of four based on geography with a blind draw being held for the teams that did not fit geographically.
Many Sporting Kansas City fans were intrigued by the idea of being grouped with USL-1 Champions, Union Omaha after they knocked out the Chicago Fire on penalty kicks on Tuesday night.
