FC Edmonton players will travel to Saskatoon next month to play a pair of exhibition games in advance of the 2020 Canadian Premier League season.
The team announced plans to participate in the friendlies on its website Wednesday. It said it is part of the Saskatchewan Summer Soccer Series, an initiative aimed at generating interest in professional soccer in the Land of the Living Skies with the goal of potentially helping to bring a CPL team to that province.
