The D.C. United soccer team has been officially set to play Real Madrid in an exhibition match at FedExField this August 9, reports the Washington Post, with a telecast set for Telefutura.
The exhibition (friendly) matchup had been long rumored for months before finally coming together in today's announcement. D.C. United's regularly scheduled August 8 league game vs. the Kansas City Wizards will be moved to September 9.
Despite D.C. United's failure to reach a permanent stadium agreement with Prince George's County, the team was obviously still amenable to using the county based-FedExField complex in Landover. This blogger does wonder though whether United's fans will be just as willing to travel into the county to attend the match.
