Wilmington, NC – Wilmington Hammerheads FC will host their Major League Soccer affiliate Toronto FC in a friendly match on Wednesday, June 18 at 7:30 p.m. ET at Legion Stadium. The match falls in the middle of Toronto’s three-week gap in their June schedule due to the 2014 World Cup.

“This match is a wonderful opportunity for our players to meet the coaching staff from Toronto and play the team,” said Wilmington Hammerheads Head Coach David Irving. “It provides the opportunity for our players to get more playing time, especially for those that may not receive much during our regular season.
