C.F. Monterrey "Rayados" Youth Scouting Event

North Carolina FC and Club de Fútbol Monterrey "Rayados" jointly announced a multi-faceted partnership agreement in 2023, whereby the clubs will share knowledge and resources to create a powerful pro pathway opportunity for young players across the U.S. and establish an active and collaborative relationship between the two North American clubs at the academy and professional levels. 
 

The partnership also brings international competition opportunities at the academy and professional levels. Rayados will play an international friendly at WakeMed Soccer Park on March 22, 2024 against fellow Liga MX side Atlético de San Luis. With the partnership established, more fixtures will be set, both domestically and abroad, to enhance player experience and training, which should be a major piece of player recruitment at the academy and USL Championship levels. 
 

As part of North Carolina FC's hosting of the match, the clubs will also hold a Youth Scouting Event prior to the Liga MX friendly on March 22nd.
