Real Salt Lake is slated to compete in a new summer tournament between Major League Soccer and Liga MX, it was announced Wednesday.
The Leagues Cup, which will feature four teams from each league, is a three-round, single-elimination tournament. RSL will face Tigres UANL, the reigning Liga MX champions, on July 24, the second day of the quarterfinal round.
“Playing against Tigres is a big opportunity for this club — a big opportunity for this team, especially when you have a chance to win a trophy. We’re looking forward to it,” RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando said in a team release.
