LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Coachella Valley Invitational will include nearly half of the teams in Major League Soccer and the National Women’s Soccer League as the preseason event continues to get bigger and bigger. The three-week event will take place from Feb. 1-22 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, which is also the site of the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals. This will be the fourth year the 1,000-acre property outside Palm Springs has hosted preseason training and games for MLS teams. NWSL teams were added last year. The CVI has two fields set up with bleacher and premium seating where games can be played.
