D.C. United will renew its rivalry with CD Guadalajara (Chivas) and take on current title-holders from Major League Soccer and the Mexican First Division in the second edition of SuperLiga, a competition between top clubs from the United States and Mexico, announced Thursday.
Placed in Group A, United will host Chivas on Saturday, July 12, reigning Mexican Apertura 2007 champion Atlante on Tuesday, July 15, and two-time MLS Cup winner Houston on Saturday, July 19, all at RFK Stadium.
United does not have a single regular-season match scheduled during July.
