Soccer @ fenway July 21st

[bgo1967]

Has anyone had it confirmed that there will be a soccer game @ Fenway on July 21 ?

 

Glasgow Celtic (my team from Scotland) v Porto (Portugal)

 

Being reported over here that it is happening in Boston for sure with Fenway as the likely venue

 

Anybody heard anything?

That would be awesome but how could the ground crew approve this....those cleats would tear up the "pitch". Does Fenway even have the dimensions for a soccer game? Are you sure this isn't at gillette?

I think the backdrop at Fenway now confirms this. I was about to make a post about it but saw this thread instead.

 

 

Is it still the same teams playing?

On July 9, 1968 Brazil's legendary Pel? played on the Fenway Park field

I didn't know this
