Aston Villa in St. Louis! Don't Miss This Epic Soccer Showdown!
St. Louis CITY SC is gearing up to host English Premier League powerhouse Aston Villa at Energizer Park on Wednesday, July 30th, at 7:30 p.m. CT. This international friendly promises to be a thrilling encounter, bringing one of Europe's most in-form clubs to the heart of St. Louis.
This match is only the second senior international friendly held at the stadium, following CITY2’s debut exhibition against Bayer Leverkusen in 2022. Local fans can catch all the action on FOX2.
Aston Villa arrives in St. Louis after an impressive 2024–25 season under head coach Unai Emery. Their sixth-place finish in the Premier League secured European qualification, and they reached the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, a significant achievement that re-established them among Europe’s elite.
Beyond the on-field excitement, the match promises a memorable night at Energizer Park. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy pre-match festivities and extend a warm St. Louis welcome to Aston Villa Football Club. Don’t forget to bring your YETI x CITY SC Refillable Rambler and check the CITY App for hydration station locations throughout the stadium, including spots offering free compostable cups for water.
