BRADENTON, Fla. – The preseason match between the Red Bulls and Inter Miami CF, scheduled for Saturday, April 3, has been canceled out of an abundance of caution for the health and safety of players and staff.

While the Red Bulls press release did not state the exact reason why, it was likely due to the COVID-19 concerns.

The Red Bulls are still scheduled to face the Tampa Bay Rowdies Saturday.
