Major League Soccer said one of the game in the opening of MLS is Back Tournament has been postponed after a team delayed travel to the tournament site following "inconclusive" Covid-19 tests. Officials have not yet announced a makeup date for the match, the Group B game against the Vancouver Whitecaps and FC Dallas, according to a MLS statement.
The Whitecaps were initially scheduled to arrive at the tournament site on July 1, but were delayed due to two "inconclusive" Covid-19 tests, the league said in the statement. Both tests have since come back negative. The club will now depart for Orlando on July 6.
FC Dallas — which arrived in Orlando on June 27 — announced Wednesday that six players have tested positive for Covid-19.
Both clubs will now play their first matches on July 15: Dallas will face the Seattle Sounders FC and Vancouver will face the San Jose Earthquakes.
The MLS is Back Tournament is scheduled to kick-off on July 6 at the Walt Disney World Resort.
