Genesee County, MI — The Flint City Bucks, one of the most storied franchises in USL soccer, will host an international friendly match on June 25 at Kettering University’s Historic Atwood Stadium.

Earlier this month, the Genesee County Board of Commissioners allocated $15,000 from the Accommodations Tax Fund to support the event, which will attract soccer fans from all over the region. These funds are utilized on an annual basis to promote and encourage visitors to Genesee County.

“We are proud to partner with the Flint City Bucks to showcase one of the many attractions that make Genesee County a great place to visit,” said Delrico J. Loyd, Chairman of the Genesee County Board of Commissioners. “We are fortunate to have a high-level soccer club in our community with a rich tradition of excellence on and off the field.”

The Bucks, winners of four national titles and 11 divisional championships, will take on Atlas FC from Guadalajara, Mexico. Since moving to Genesee County from Pontiac in 2019, the Bucks have finished no worse than second place in any season.

Former Bucks players have played professionally in soccer clubs all over the globe, and two former players have been called up for the US Men’s National Team.

In short, these guys can play!
