With the first round result in Iowa final -- and AFC Cleveland of the NPSL downing the PDL's Des Moines Menace with a late 3-1 win -- FC Cincinnati is now officially hosting a 2017 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup match in 2017!
We'll host AFC Cleveland in an Ohio Derby next Wednesday, May 17th, at 7pm at Nippert Stadium. And since there are no current plans for a local TV, radio or streaming coverage for this match, the only way to take in the action will be to head to Nippert Stadium on Wednesday night.

THIRD ROUND DRAW UPDATE (UPDATED 5/12)
Since finding out who we would play in the second round, US Soccer has also conducted a series of draws to see who and where we could potentially play in the third round, provided we get past Cleveland on on May 17th.
The first draw determined that if we advanced, we would face the winner of the second round match between Tartan Devils Oak Avalon -- an amateur qualifier based out of Pittsburgh -- and Louisville City FC. The second draw determined that, should we advance to that stage, we would host either of those teams at Nippert Stadium on Wednesday, May 31st, at 7pm.
Tickets for this potential match are not yet on sale, and will be made available at a later time should we advance to the third round of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup.
