The Seattle Sounders on Wednesday announced two international friendlies including a game against a German club for the first time.
On July 8, the Sounders will host Eintracht Frankfurt — currently ranked third in the Bundesliga and pushing for UEFA Champions League qualification — for the club’s first-ever competition against a German club. Kickoff is 1 p.m. at CenturyLink Field.
The other game is against Mexican side Club Necaxa on Saturday, March 25 at 7 p.m. It’s the third time a Liga MX side has faced Sounders FC in a friendly at CenturyLink Field.
“We are excited to welcome clubs from two of the best top-flight leagues in the world, as both opponents help us achieve long-term goals for the organization,” Sounders FC owner Adrian Hanauer said in a news release issued by the team.
