After signing their contracts in a ceremony with head coach Jay Heaps, the athletes received their jerseys and attended practice. Here, they met their new teammates, including Andrew Farrell, who helped coach last year's Unified team.
Those interested in supporting the Revolution's newest players are encouraged to enter the stadium early as the game will precede the Revs-NYCFC match set to begin at 7:30.
