Not much has been given away by Atlanta United as to what their plans are for pre-match festivities ahead of the club’s first ever match against the New York Red Bulls on Sunday, but one piece of news has come out.

R&B singer Monica, famous for her 1998 hit song “The Boy is Mine” among other career highlights will perform the national anthem for the big match. The 36-year-old artist revealed as much on her Instagram page.

I'm So Excited to announce that I will be singing the National Anthem at the inaugural @atlutd match Sunday in ATL... I Have TWO tickets to give away. Just share and retweet why YOU should be the one to witness history with me @atlutd A post shared by Monica Brown (@monicabrown) on Feb 28, 2017 at 7:42am PST

Monica was born in College Park, Georgia and is the cousin of Ludacris. She’s also married to NBA free agent Shannon Brown.

For the MLS spectrum this is a pretty good get for Atlanta United. Not many big-named artists do performances for MLS matches, so to get a Homegrown talent like Monica who will assuredly put on a great performance is a good deal.

What do you think of this news? Were you hoping for someone else?
