NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nashville Soccer Club will look to advance to the Leagues Cup 2024 Knockout Stage Round of 32 when it visits the New England Revolution at 6:30 p.m. CT Tuesday, Aug. 6 at Gillette Stadium.

The top two teams from Nashville’s East 5 Group will meet teams from the East 7 or East 1 Group in the Round of 32, which takes place Aug. 7 to 9.

Tuesday’s fixture at New England will serve as the first road match for Nashville SC Head Coach B.J. Callaghan and First Assistant John Bello after the duo made their Music City debut in last Wednesday’s Leagues Cup Group Stage opener against Mazatlán F.C. at GEODIS Park.
Last Wednesday’s Leagues Cup Group Stage match against Mazatlán F.C. featured 11 Boys in Gold, including substitutes, who were members of Nashville SC’s Leagues Cup 2023 Final roster: Josh Bauer, Teal Bunbury, Aníbal Godoy, Dan Lovitz, Jack Maher, Shaq Moore, Hany Mukhtar, Alex Muyl, Jacob Shaffelburg, Sam Surridge, and Joe Willis. Five players (Lovitz, Moore, Mukhtar, Muyl, and Surridge) started both the 2023 Final and the 2024 opener.
A pair of Boys in Gold also made their debuts in the club’s Leagues Cup opener at GEODIS Park last Wednesday: newly acquired U22 Initiative Player Patrick Yazbek started and logged 90 minutes plus added time while forward Jordan Knight, who was called up from Nashville SC’s MLS NEXT Pro affiliate Huntsville City Football Club for the tournament, subbed into the match in the 87th minute.
