The offseason morphs into the 2017 preseason in just 52 days.
On Thursday, Real Salt Lake announced its plans for the upcoming month-long preseason camp that will start in late January and last a month with stops in three different states. RSL will report for entrance physicals on Saturday, Jan. 21, and couple of days later will hop on a plane to a familiar preseason destination. RSL will spend two weeks in Phoenix and Tucson, Ariz., where the club will participate in the Desert Diamond Cup hosted by minor-league franchise FC Tucson.
RSL is scheduled to face the Portland Timbers, New York Red Bulls and San Jose Earthquakes during the preseason tournament in Tucson.
