"We are incredibly excited about matching our club's talents against some of the best in Honduras," D.C. United Managing General Partner and CEO Jason Levien said. "Olimpia is a historic team from a special country and we are honored to host them. We have a special relationship with the Central American community in the DMV and we are looking forward to strengthening those bonds at Audi Field."

Brazilian forward Luciano "Luci" "Lucigol" Emilio, who played for both teams, will be a guest of honor the night of the game.

Emilio scored 41 times in 89 appearances for D.C. United and won three titles with Olimpia in Honduras.

"There is so much emotion from me to both D.C. United and Olimpia," he said. "I love the fans of both clubs dearly and it is an honor for me to be involved in the launch and the game. My heart is always open to both D.C. United and Olimpia."

D.C. United is 8-11-7 (31 points) in MLS Eastern Conference this season, good for eighth place.
