Atlanta United will host Nashville SC this weekend as both the U-13 and U-14 squads gear up to face the Six Strings in MLS Next play.
This will be the first time Atlanta faces Nashville this season. Both matchups will take place at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Training Ground.
Atlanta will hope to keep their momentum high going into the month of December after going undefeated in all of November in league play.
Between matchups against Charlotte FC, Kalonji Soccer Academy and Hoover-Vestavia across all age groups (U-13-U-17s), the Five Stripes only drew once, winning the rest of the games.
