Chattanooga FC has been invited by Futbolito de las Estrellas to play another international exhibition with a professional club: CSD Municipal. The Guatemalan club known as “Municipal” or “Los Rojos” most recently won the Guatemalan first division in 2017. Municipal has won 30 domestic league championships, 11 international cups, and 8 national cups.
“We were approached with the opportunity to play Municipal after our successful exhibition against Comunicaciones this spring,” said Sheldon Grizzle, president, Chattanooga FC.
“Los Rojos are a Central American powerhouse, and we’re honored to be on the same pitch as them. We’ve also been eager to play a match in North Georgia for years now so this is an added treat for our fans. We love the North Georgia community, and we’re excited to give them a match on their turf.”
Los Rojos is known for having the largest fan base in Guatemalan sports, and they’re known as “El equipo del Pueblo” or “The People’s Team.” Grizzle said the match "will be a great opportunity to showcase more players for Chattanooga FC and introduce them to an international audience."
Chattanooga FC season pass holders will receive free parking at the match with the season pass card or jersey. The match will be held Sunday, June 30, at 6 p.m. at Ridgeland High School. Tickets will be $20 in advance, $25 the day of the match. You can buy tickets and learn more at chattanoogafc.com or by calling 423-800-4027/818-445-8465.
