Cary, NC (July 2, 2020)- The USL announced today the schedule for North Carolina FC as the team returns to play in Group G of the Eastern Conference. North Carolina FC is set to play 15 games between July 17 and October 4 to complete their 16 game season that began in March before coming to a halt due to COVID-19. Seven matches will be played at Sahlen’s Stadium at WakeMed Soccer Park.
The North Carolina Football Club is working with local and state officials to determine the feasibility of welcoming fans back to Sahlen’s Stadium.

“We are very much looking forward to the resumption of our season,” said North Carolina FC head coach Dave Sarachan. “The 15 games that we have scheduled will give us a very good test of where we are as a team. Our focus is to compete and be successful as a group.”
