Head Coach Brian Schmetzer reveals his lineup for tonight's first round Concacaf Champions Cup match against Antigua GFC (5 p.m. PT; Watch on FOX Soccer Plus, ViX+, Concacaf Youtube Channel) at Estadio Pensativo. Here is the Starting XI:
LINEUP NOTES:
- Tonight's match marks Seattle's return to the Concacaf sanctioned tournament since 2022. The last time the Sounders were featured in the international competition, they defeated Liga MX side Pumas UNAM 5-2 on aggregate in the two-leg final series to become the only MLS team to ever win the tournament.
- This is the first all-time meeting between Sounders FC and Antigua GFC. The Guatemalan side currently sits in second place in the Liga Nacional Clausura standings (5-1-2, 16 points). Antigua competes in the top tier of Guatemalan soccer and has won the Liga Nacional Apertura title three times (2015, 2016, 2017) and the Clausura title once (2019).
- Paul Arriola and Jesús Ferreira make their club debuts and earn their first starts with Seattle in tonight's first round match. The two players were previously with FC Dallas before joining the Rave Green during the offseason.
