FC Dallas vs. Whitecaps match in MLS is Back Tournament postponed
Major League Soccer announced that it has postponed the match between FC Dallas and the Vancouver Whitecaps in the MLS is Back Tournament until a later date that has yet to be revealed.
The Dallas side has been hit pretty hard by a number of positive coronavirus tests. Nine players and one coach all tested positive for COVID-19.
Dallas has been quarantined since the team arrived in Orlando on June 27, preventing players from training.
Vancouver was scheduled to arrive on Wednesday, but was delayed because of two inconclusive coronavirus tests. The tests have since been confirmed negative, and the team will travel to Orlando on Monday.
The match between Dallas and Vancouver was originally scheduled for July 9, but pushing it back allows both sides to get in more training before they meet.
Both clubs won't play their first match of the tournament until July 15. Dallas will face the Seattle Sounders, and Vancouver will take on the San Jose Earthquakes.
