Atlanta United: Proving they are CONCACAF elite
Atlanta United embark on their second CONCACAF Champions League venture next year. In doing so, they are attempting to prove they are a member of the region’s elite.
Atlanta United will begin their second attempt at North American glory when they face off against Honduran side Motagua FC in the first round of the CONCACAF Champions League.
The Five Stripes earned their way into the 2020 tournament by way of winning the 2019 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup by defeating Minnesota United 2-1 in Atlanta.
Motagua, meanwhile, are making their fifth appearance in the CCL by way of finishing runners-up in the 2019 CONCACAF league. They are yet to advance past the Round of 16 in all previous attempts.
