ABOUT THE MATCH
Charlotte FC is going head to head with Chelsea starting on 20 Jul 2022 at 23:30 UTC . The match is a part of the Florida Cup.
Game number two of Chelsea’s preseason tour sees the Blues take on local side Charlotte FC, Major League Soccer’s newest franchise, in Charlotte, North Carolina. It will be our second game in The Queen City (named after Queen Charlotte) in our last three preseason trips to the US, with a match against PSG being part of the tour in 2015.
Regardless of setting or opponents, the focus will be on preparing for the season — and engaging with fans. Thomas Tuchel has been putting the squad through intense sessions in the sweltering heat and humidity of the Orlando camp, and is looking to start focusing on tactical as opposed physical aspects in the second week of the tour.

Charlotte FC team news: The team’s inaugural season isn’t going too badly, with the team sitting just outside the playoff spots in the Eastern Conference, though they did fire their first ever head coach a couple months ago, after just 14 games. Long-time Leicester City man, Christian Fuchs, the team captain, blamed that on a bit of the old palpable discord. Highly experienced Christian Lattanzio, a former Manchester City youth coach as well as Patrick Vieira’s former assistant at OGC Nice, is the interim man in charge.

Chelsea team news: Tuchel gave 22 players 45 minutes each on Saturday, and something similar is probably in the cards for Wednesday night, especially after cutting the squad down to a slightly more manageable size by sending a few kids away.
Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly are both in line for their first appearances of preseason, and hopefully both Levi Colwill and Mateo Kovačić are fit enough now to take part — especially Colwill, who could still be this preseason’s Trevoh Chalobah.
