The Swope Park Rangers and the United Soccer League today announced the full schedule for the 2018 season. The Rangers will open on Saturday, March 17 with a trip to Reno 1868 FC before hosting the side’s home opener at Shawnee Mission South District Stadium against Seattle Sounders FC 2 on March 24.
The Rangers enter the 2018 campaign as reigning back-to-back Western Conference Champions. The only existing team from the 2017 season that shifted conference ahead of the 2018 campaign is cross-state rivals Saint Louis FC, who rejoin the Rangers in the Western Conference.
SPR will face every team in the Western Conference home and away in 2018, while the side will also face Saint Louis FC and San Antonio FC three times this season – two home and one away versus Saint Louis and two away and one at home against San Antonio.
