San Antonio FC will play either NTX Rayados (NTPSA) or the Houston Dutch Lions (NPSL) in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup second round on Wednesday, May 17. NTX Rayados and the Houston Dutch Lions will face each other in the first round of the competition on May 10. SAFC will host the match only if NTX Rayados advances to the second round.
The match marks the fourth Open Cup game in San Antonio FC history and potentially the second that the club could host at Toyota Field. SAFC advanced to the fourth round of the tournament in 2016, defeating Corinthians FCSA (second round) at home and the Des Moines Menace (third round) on the road before falling to the Houston Dynamo (fourth round) at BBVA Compass Stadium.
NTX Rayados competes in the North Texas Premier Soccer Association while the Houston Dutch Lions play in the National Premier Soccer League. The two clubs will play in Houston May 10 to determine who progresses to the second round to face San Antonio FC.
The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup is the oldest national soccer competition in American history. Founded in 1914, the knockout-style competition consists of clubs from all tiers of the American soccer pyramid, including MLS, NASL, USL, PDL, NPSL and amateur clubs. In 1999, the competition was named after Hunt who remains one of the most influential pioneers in American soccer history.
