Key clash in Seattle
Our team will face the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League winners in the early hours of Friday morning, with kick-off scheduled for 00:00 CEST.
Seattle Sounders FC are our second opponents at the FIFA Club World Cup, where we’ll go head-to-head with the American side in a crucial encounter kicking off at 00:00 CEST in the early hours of Friday 20 June.
Coached by Brian Schmetzer, the Sounders narrowly lost their opening match 2-1 to Botafogo. This time, they’ll once again benefit from home advantage, with the match taking place at their 69,000-capacity stadium, Lumen Field – one of the twelve venues of the tournament.
Our opponents come into the competition in the thick of the MLS season, currently sitting sixth in the Western Conference with a record of 7 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats. Slovakian international Albert Rusnák leads their scoring and assist charts, with 7 goals and 3 assists to his name.
As winners of the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League – a title that earned them qualification for this Club World Cup – Seattle will undoubtedly be formidable opponents in what promises to be a decisive showdown. The winner will keep their hopes of reaching the round of 16 well and truly alive.
