ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – The Tampa Bay Rowdies will welcome five MLS clubs to Al Lang Stadium for the second annual Rowdies Suncoast Invitational this February, with D.C. United, the Montreal Impact, Toronto FC, the Philadelphia Union and Chicago Fire all set to compete in downtown St. Petersburg ahead of the opening weekend of the MLS regular season.

Al Lang Stadium will host five matches in the tournament, with a doubleheader on Saturday, February 18 and a tripleheader on Saturday, February 25. The tournament debuted last season to rave reviews from some of MLS’s biggest stars for the unique atmosphere and playing surface at the Rowdies’ home stadium.

Four of the five MLS teams in this year’s edition of the Rowdies Suncoast Invitational qualified for the 2016 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs, including the reigning Eastern Conference Champion Toronto FC and runner-up Montreal Impact.

Along with their participation in the Rowdies Suncoast Invitational, the Impact will have an extended visit to St. Petersburg for their preseason training camp. During their time in the Sunshine City, the Impact will call Al Lang Stadium home, using the field, locker room and gym facilities alongside the Rowdies.
