The United Soccer League announced today, following approval from USL League One’s Board of Governors, that the previously announced two-week delay to the start of the League One season will be extended in order to align with recent guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on restricting public gatherings of 50 or more people through Sunday May 10th.
For Union Omaha, this means the suspension will also affect our home game on April 25th against Orlando City B and away games on April 18th at Forward Madison, May 3rd at North Texas SC and May 9th at Greenville Triumph in addition to the previously affected events: March 20th against University of Nebraska Omaha Men’s Soccer team at Caniglia Field, March 27th at Fort Lauderdale CF, April 3rd against Bellevue University Men’s Soccer team at Werner Park, and our second round Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup match at Caniglia Field.
We want to thank League One fans across the country for your support during these extraordinary circumstances. As always, your safety, health and wellness are our top priority. We will continue to monitor ongoing events, receive guidance from local, state and national health authorities, and participate in a national task force comprised of other professional sports leagues and organizations from around the country. We also want to extend our support and best wishes to all the individuals and communities who have been impacted by COVID-19.
We look forward to kicking off the new season with you soon.
