New York City FC are keeping their U.S. Open Cup match in the Bronx.

Following a report from EoS revealing NYCFC would not host their U.S. Open Cup match at Yankee Stadium, TheCup.US reveals the location of their fourth round match.

NYCFC will host their fourth round encounter at Fordham University’s Coffey Field.

Coffey Field, a 7,000 seat stadium in Fordham’s Bronx campus, is a field turf pitch that plays host to the Forham Rams football team. It is also one of several sites that were discussed as a possible home field in the early days of the New York Cosmos revival.

Coffey Field is north east of Yankee Stadium, roughly a 20 minute drive from the stadium.

The New York Cosmos will take on the winners of the New York Pancyprian Freedoms/Jersey Express match in the third round of the tournament. The winner of that encounter will head to the Bronx and take on NYCFC. The Cosmos defeated and eliminated NYCFC from the Open Cup last season in a penalty shootout at Hofstra’s Shuart Stadium.

U.S. Soccer has yet to officially release the fourth round dates and locations.
