Philadelphia Union today announced their Leagues Cup 2024 roster. The Union's 30-man roster includes its newest acquisition Samuel Adeniran and Union II defender Frankie Westfield and midfielder CJ Olney.
The Union are set to open their Leagues Cup account this weekend as they host Charlotte FC on Saturday, July 27, at Subaru Park. As part of East 4 Group, Philly will also host Liga MX side Cruz Azul in the group stage of the international tournament on Sunday, August 4th. All Leagues Cup matches will be streamed live on MLS Season Pass on the Apple TV app in English and Spanish.
The group stage of the Leagues Cup tournament marks the entrance for 47 teams from the two top-tier leagues in the U.S. and Canada (Major League Soccer) and Mexico (LIGA MX). The tournament features 77 matches in four weeks during the summer where both leagues will pause their respective seasons. Every team will play two matches in the group stage, with the top two teams from each group, as determined by points, advancing to the Knockout Stage Round of 32. Each club is allowed three roster changes based on different criteria through the beginning of the tournament’s Quarterfinal matches.
