In order to reach the knockout rounds of the newly announced MLS is Back Tournament next month at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Sporting Kansas City will have to navigate a group that includes three awfully familiar foes.
During today's official draw for the tournament, Manager Peter Vermes' men were placed into Group D alongside Real Salt Lake, the Colorado Rapids and Minnesota United FC. A full match schedule, including broadcast details and kickoff times, is expected to be released next week.
All 26 MLS outfits were divided into six groups, with Group A, C and E consisting of Eastern Conference sides and Groups B, D and F containing Western Conference teams.
