The CHARLY USA League is thrilled to announce, in collaboration with our partner the Tampa Bay Rowdies, the first-ever series of USA League regular season matches to be played in a professional environment at Al Lang Stadium on Saturday, December 6th.
The event kicks off at 5:00 PM with the U14 Girls Premier Division match featuring North Manatee Mutiny vs. Cape Coral, followed by the U17 Boys Premier Division match at 7:00 PM featuring Clearwater Chargers vs. DME Academy Sarasota.
