The Philadelphia Union will be playing at Stade de Olympic in Montreal for the first time on Saturday when they visit CF Montreal but it won’t be the first time assistant coach Ryan Richter has been part of a game in the 61,000-seat indoor venue originally built for the 1976 Olympics.
Richter wore the captain’s armband in the first ever Bethlehem Steel FC match played at Olympic Stadium on March 25, 2016. The Steel won the match 1-0 on a first half Fabian Herbers goal. Richter started and played the full 90 minutes at right back in the inaugural match for the Union’s second team.
