Do Red Bulls or Phila Union even have Academy teams from 2014-2017?

With global warming and air quality and all day Asian tiger mosquitoes, the DC area is not safe for intense soccer games in early August.

It just seems like the marketing is all Bark and no Bite.

I wish them all the success; but it can be a sign of extreme hubris to tout participation in a Global Elite event like this. Then, when anyone looks behind the green curtain, you don't even see one man pulling levers.

So, it remains to be seen. There is more than ample room for hyperbole and conjecture at this point. Something like this can easily be a topic to get picked apart on DCUM.

Why are people wanting this tournament to fail?
What's the benefits to you if it fails?
Does it harm you in some way if it's successful?

Call me crazy but I don't think "elite teams like Orlando City, Red Bulls Academy, Philly Union, Chicago Fire, and RB Leipzig" are going to travel to an AI powered sports company's tournament debut in Upper Marlboro, MD
