D.C. United will play in the Copa Sudamericana, a prestigious South American club tournament this fall. United was invited to the event after a third-place finish in the CONCACAF Champions' Cup this year. The tournament draw will take place at 12 PM Eastern Time Tuesday.
D.C. United was the first team from Major League Soccer to participate in the tournament when it was invited to play in the 2005 edition. That year, D.C. faced Universidad Catolica of Chile in a two-game aggregate goal series. United tied 1-1 at RFK Stadium, then lost 3-2 at Santiago, Chile, blowing a 2-0 lead.
Hopefully DC United will get past the first round this time, but it is an honor to be invited and MLS teams need to get more international exposure. I will keep you posted once we get our first round opponent named.
