Earlier this month, the New York Red Bulls announced preseason plans which included a scheduled game against a then-unnamed opponent on this past Friday March 19, the day before the team left for Florida to continue season prep. While New York never publicly disclosed the details of the closed-door friendly, the opponent was revealed to be National Independent Soccer Association side New Amsterdam FC. The professional third-division team made the announcement last Thursday in a now deleted Instagram post.
However between Thursday night and Friday morning, New Amsterdam revealed via Instagram story that the game was cancelled due to at least one positive COVID-19 test.
