Philadelphia Union to host Liga MX side Atlas F.C. in international friendly at Subaru Park

Major League Soccer

Atlanta United

Philadelphia Union

<p>Philadelphia Union announced today that they will host Mexican club Atlas F.C. in an international friendly at Subaru Park on Saturday, June 7 at 7:30 p.m. ET.</p><p>The match will be part of Atlas’s preseason campaign as they prepare for both the Leagues Cup and the Apertura 2025. The Guadalajara-based side, now under the leadership of former Atlanta United head coach Gonzalo Pineda, is looking to bounce back after a disappointing Clausura 2025 in which they finished 14th and failed to qualify for the playoffs - marking a rough start to Pineda’s tenure.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>This will mark Atlas F.C.'s second visit to Subaru Park. The previous encounter in Chester took place on April 4, 2023, when the Union secured a 1-0 win in the second leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal, advancing to the semifinals on aggregate.</p><p>In the upcoming Leagues Cup, Atlas will compete in a challenging group alongside Inter Miami, Orlando City, and Atlanta United. Their tournament opener is scheduled for July 30 against Inter Miami, also known as<em> The Herons</em>.</p><p>While no other preseason friendlies or player signings have been officially announced by the club, Atlas recently confirmed the appointment of Aníbal Fájer as the club’s new sporting president. The move is seen as a key step toward restructuring the team after several seasons without significant success.</p><p></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>One bright spot for Atlas has been the emergence of Montenegrin striker Uroš Đurđević, who finished the Clausura 2025 as the league’s top scorer with 12 goals - the first time in the club’s history that an Atlas player has claimed the Liga MX golden boot.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Union head coach Bradley Carnell has his team in excellent form in Major League Soccer. Philadelphia currently sits in second place in the Eastern Conference with 22 points, just two behind leaders Columbus Crew. The two clubs <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/the-kickoff-lionel-messi-s-inter-miami-visit-resilient-minnesota-united-new-york-red-bulls-and-la-galaxy-clash-in-mls-cup-rematch/blt7668eca6d13d7156" target="_self">are set to clash this Saturday in a high-stakes battle for the top spot in the conference.</a></p>
