Charlotte FC announced today a friendly match against English Premier League’s Chelsea FC on July 20 at Bank of America Stadium. Chelsea FC, the London-based Premier League club, is one of the most successful soccer brands globally, and the match will mark the return of American phenom Christian Pulisic, who took to the pitch in Charlotte when Borussia Dortmund went against Liverpool in 2018. Pulisic will be joined by Chelsea FC stars N’Golo Kante (France), Mason Mount (England) and Edouard Mendy (Senegal), who are all expected to play for their respective countries at this winter’s FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
