Aside from the MLS SuperDraft in Philadelphia and the official announcement of Ezequiel Barco’s acquisition from Independiente, absolutely nothing of importance to Atlanta United fans happened on Friday.
So let’s turn the page and talk about the second team. The USL announced its 2018 schedule on Friday afternoon, and one key change from last year is the earlier start date. While the 2017 season opened on March 25, the 2018 season will open on March 15.
However, Atlanta United 2 will need to wait until March 24 for its inaugural match. As previously released by the club, it will open that day against Eastern Conference runner-up New York Red Bulls II.
