Sunday’s match is the second of three-straight away from GEODIS Park 

The match will air live on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV and on 104.5 the Zone

Nashville Soccer Club will travel to Portland on Sunday for its sole fixture against the Timbers this regular season at 9:30 p.m. CT.

Here are five things to know for Sunday’s match, available on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV and on Nashville SC’s flagship station 104.5 the Zone.

  1. Earlier this week, Nashville SC announced that United States Men’s National Team assistant coach J. Callaghan has been appointed the second head coach in club history. Callaghan will join the team on July 22nd and make his debut on July 31st when the Boys in Gold host Mazatlán F.C. in Leagues Cup 2024 Group Stage play at GEODIS Park.
  2. Nashville SC played its first-ever Major League Soccer road match against the Timbers at Providence Park on March 8, 2020, with the clubs meeting only two times since. The team’s inaugural road match took place just six days after a deadly tornado outbreak significantly impacted Nashville and Middle Tennessee and, due to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Boys in Gold wouldn’t play again until Aug. 12 at FC Dallas.
  3. The Boys in Gold will travel to the City of Roses unbeaten in four of their last five fixtures away from GEODIS Park (2W-1L-2D).
  4. Last Wednesday’s match at Columbus saw a pair of firsts for two Boys in Gold: rookie forward Forster Ajago made his debut start in MLS after appearing in three-straight matches off the bench while defender Joey Skinner, a member of the 2023 Generation adidas class and the 11th pick in the 2023 MLS SuperDraft, made his MLS debut when he subbed into the match in the 87th minute.
  5. Following Sunday night’s match at Portland, Nashville SC will conclude its run of three-straight road matches July 13th at D.C. United before returning to GEODIS Park to host Orlando City SC on Wednesday, July 17th at 7:30 p.m. CT. Tickets for the team’s return home, which serves as Teacher Appreciation and Back to School Night, are available here.

Nashville SC joined Major League Soccer on Feb. 29, 2020 in front of the largest attendance ever recorded for a soccer match in the State of Tennessee. In its inaugural MLS season, Nashville SC defied expectations by becoming the second MLS expansion side to win and advance to the Conference Semifinals in the 2020 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs. Nashville SC returned to the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs in its sophomore season after becoming just the seventh team in MLS history to go unbeaten at home in a season. The Boys in Gold again qualified for the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs in both 2022 and 2023, becoming just the third team in league history to reach the postseason during the team’s first four years in existence. Nashville SC inaugurated GEODIS Park, the largest soccer-specific stadium in the United States and Canada, in front of a sellout crowd of 30,109 on May 1, 2022.
