For the first time, Lionsbridge FC has accepted an invitation to the oldest and most prestigious tournament in American soccer. 2023 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, here we come! 108th Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup: Round 1 β—‰ Lionsbridge FC at Cleveland SC (@soccercle) β—‰ Thursday, March 23, 7pm β—‰ North Olmstead, Ohio The tournament features every professional team in America (Major League Soccer, USL Championship, USL League One and NISA) as automatic qualifiers, but only 28 amateur teams are invited. This year, Lionsbridge FC is on the list! Head coach Chris Whalley will lead Lionsbridge FC on the road in the first round against Cleveland SC, a fellow amateur team. The winner will most likely face a professional team in the second round. Because of David vs. Goliath matchups and the β€œCupsets” each year, the U.S. Open Cup is often described as the March Madness of American soccer. β€œThis is a fantastic opportunity for the club and for players to showcase their talent on a national stage,” Whalley said. β€œWe’re looking forward to getting our group together and taking our shot against the big boys.” Ticket information and streaming details will be announced at a later date. The U.S. Soccer announcement and complete schedule of first round matchups can be found at USSoccer.com. #UpTheBridge #usoc2023 @opencup ## Stats - **Views:** 1,671 - **Likes:** 245 - **Shares:** 50 - **Comments:** 11 ## Credits These are the roles credited on Gondola.
