Changes Announced to Earthquakes Preseason Schedule
Two changes have been made to the San Jose Earthquakes preseason schedule during the team’s weeklong trip to Tucson, Arizona. The team’s match on Saturday, February 6, which has tickets available, will now feature the Houston Dynamo as the opponent rather than Vancouver Whitecaps FC. In addition, the Quakes will no longer face FC Tucson on Tuesday, February 9, but rather Seongnam FC of the Korean K League, which will be closed to the general public.
