Atlanta United will start its training camp in Bradenton, Fla., team president Darren Eales said Tuesday while attending the MLS combine in Carson, Calif.
The team will spend two weeks there at the IMG Academy. The team will train there from Jan. 23-Feb. 4.
Four to five MLS teams train in Florida, which gives Atlanta United scrimmage opportunities.
It has a preseason game scheduled against NPSL-side Chattanooga in Finley Stadium at 3 p.m. on Feb. 11, as well as games against MLS side Columbus on Feb. 18 at 4:30 p.m. and Seattle on Feb. 22 at 7:30 p.m., and USL-side Charleston on Feb. 25 at 7 p.m. to prepare for its inaugural season. Those games will be in Charleston, S.C. as part of the Carolina Challenge Cup.
The team will open the regular season hosting New York Red Bulls on March 5 at Georgia Tech’s Bobby Dodd Stadium.
