Revs to face Joe Public FC in 2008-2009 CONCACAF Champions League Preliminary Round; Superliga tickets on sale tomorrow

The New England Revolution will face Trinidad & Tobago club Joe Public FC in the preliminary round of the inaugural CONCACAF Champions League. The first leg will take place between August 26-28 and be in Trinidad & Tobago. The second leg, set to take place sometime between September 2-4, will be the Revs' home leg. Exact dates, times, and locations have yet to be announced. The winner, as well as the 7 other preliminary match-up victors, will join eight previously seeded teams in the group stage.

Joe Public FC qualified by finishing as the runner-up 2007 Caribbean Football Union Club Championship. New England qualified as runner-up in last year's MLS Cup final.

The Revs should have a first hand account of Joe Public FC's stadium, which features a synthetic surface, as Khano Smith is set to play there this weekend when Bermuda takes on the Trinidad & Tobago National Team.
