Atlanta United will host Charleston on Saturday for a training exercise at the team’s grounds in Marietta.
The exercise, which could be considered a scrimmage, will consist of four 30-minute periods. It is scheduled to start at 10:30 a.m. and is supposed to be livestreamed on the team’s website. New manager Gabriel Heinze is scheduled to speak to the media after the game. It will be his first interview since late December.
This will be the second scrimmage hosted by Atlanta United as part of its preparations for its season-opening Champions League game at Alajuelense in Costa Rica on April 6. It defeated Statesboro-based Tormenta 3-0 last week at the training ground. Atlanta United will host Chattanooga on Wednesday before playing at Birmingham on March 28.
Charleston, which plays in the USL Championship, opened its training camp Thursday.
