INTERNATIONAL SOCCER CLUBS CHELSEA FC AND MANCHESTER CITY TO MEET IN OHIO STADIUM AUGUST 3 | Columbus Crew
COLUMBUS, OH (March 19, 2024) – The Ohio State University will welcome elite international club soccer competition at Ohio Stadium when England’s Chelsea FC and Manchester City will face off on Saturday, August 3, 2024. The match between the Premier League rivals is part of the 2024 FC Series, a collection of friendly matches featuring top global soccer clubs.
Tickets for the match will go on sale via Ticketmaster on Wednesday, March 27 at 10:00 a.m. local time. Fans can sign up for an exclusive 24-hour presale at www.FCSeries.com.
“Ohio Stadium is a special location for creating a unique event for these world class teams,” said Molly Pendleton, Senior Vice President, Unified Events. “Playing in Columbus with teams like Chelsea FC and Manchester City will showcase the passion of Ohio and American soccer fans.”
Chelsea and Manchester City are the only clubs to win multiple Premier League titles in the last decade. The meeting in Columbus will be the 178th all-time between the two English clubs. Chelsea leads the series 71-64-42. The teams most recently played to a 1-1 draw on February 17 at Etihad Stadium.
Chelsea, the two-time Champions League and six-time English Premier League champions, will enter the preseason in their second year under manager Mauricio Pochettino. The Blues are the first club to win all four major UEFA club competitions twice (Champions League, Super Cup, Europa League and Cup Winners’ Cup).
“We are delighted to announce this fixture as part of our schedule and face a fellow Premier League side in Manchester City. Ohio Stadium is renowned for its history, and we know it is going to be an incredible occasion in front of our devoted US fanbase this summer,” commented Chelsea Chief Executive Officer, Chris Jurasek.
Peter Laundy, Senior Vice President Partnerships at City Football Group, said: “We are pleased to announce the details of our 2024/25 preseason tour today as we prepare to return to America with an exciting four-match series delivered in collaboration with FC Series this summer.
“Our 2022 pre-season visit to the United States was hugely successful, including our sell-out fixture at Lambeau Field, Green Bay and the Club’s presence, fan base and status continues to grow significantly within the region.
“We can’t wait to play more matches, deliver more unique experiences and opportunities for our fans across the country to enjoy with Manchester City when we return later this year.”
Now in its third year hosting matches across the United States, the FC Series is a showcase for international soccer clubs. In January, the FC Series hosted CR Flamengo’s preseason tour in Florida. This summer, FC Series matches will take place in Chapel Hill, N.C., New York City, Orlando, Fla. and Columbus.
“Our team is excited to pair two of the biggest clubs in the world at an iconic venue for American sports,” said Steve Hogan, Florida Citrus Sports CEO. “This will be a must-see match on the summer soccer calendar, and we are grateful for the opportunity to partner with Manchester City, Chelsea and Unified Events to bring it to the campus of The Ohio State University.”
August 3 will be the second international soccer match at Ohio Stadium. In July 2016, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Real Madrid CF 3-1 in front of 86,641 fans.
“This match up truly puts Columbus on the international stage drawing fans from all over the United States and beyond,” said Xen Riggs, Ohio State Department of Athletics Vice President/Chief Operating Officer. “Our collaborations and partnerships across Columbus and the investments that have been made continue to pay back strong dividends. Thanks to all of our community partners for this amazing effort. The Ohio State University and iconic Ohio Stadium are proud of the international destination we have become.”
“The Crew are committed to inspiring a love of the global game and bringing Columbus to the world through soccer, and we have an incredible opportunity to accomplish those goals with the Manchester City-Chelsea match at Ohio Stadium, thanks to the support of The Ohio State University, the Greater Columbus Sports Commission and Unified Events,” said Crew President and General Manager Tim Bezbatchenko. “As Major League Soccer’s first Club, we have consistently experienced the tremendous passion for and growth of our sport in Columbus during Crew matches, U.S. Men’s and Women’s National Team games and competitions at all levels of play, including amateur soccer at the youth, high school and collegiate levels. By hosting two world-class English Premier League clubs, we are continuing to showcase that Columbus is a Soccer City while supporting the economic development of our region through major international events like this match, our 2023 MLS Cup championship and Aston Villa game in July, the 2024 MLS All-Star Game, SheBelieves Cup and more.”
“There’s no doubt Manchester City and Chelsea are two of the biggest clubs in the world. To have them face each other in an iconic venue like Ohio Stadium will be a spectacle for fans both here and around the globe. We’re thankful to the teams, Ohio State and our community partners for helping make it possible. It’s shaping up to be the summer of soccer in Columbus between this match, the MLS All-Star Game and the Crew. We are eagerly anticipating the arrival of fans from all over, and hope to showcase our vibrant city,” Linda Shetina Logan, CEO & President of the Greater Columbus Sports Commission.

Ohio State coach Jake Diebler updates roster, summer plans: Part 2
Ohio State men’s hoops coach Jake Diebler discusses the 2026-27 roster, transfer portal additions and more in the first part of this June 1 interview.
Westerville North’s Tony Cornett III has steadily built up a strong list of college offers. Since the start of May, the 6-foot-4, 180-pound guard has added ones from Akron, Bowling Green and Toledo as summer camp season has gotten underway.
Now with offers from 10 schools, including one from every Mid-American Conference school in Ohio, Cornett said the mission isn’t complete because it’s never complete.
“I feel like it’s more fuel for me,” he said of the recent offers from the Zips, Falcons and Rockets. “None of the offers I’ve gotten, I’m satisfied with. It won’t be a single offer that will make me fully satisfied because it’s like, why would I be satisfied with that offer? The job’s never finished.”
It’s an attitude that has helped Cornett and the Warriors reach the Ohio Division II title game in each of the past two years, winning the championship in 2025 and falling in overtime in 2026. In this year’s five-point loss to Massillon Washington, Cornett had 15 points, 10 rebounds, five steals and four turnovers in 35 minutes.
On June 5, he was on the main court inside the Jerome Schottenstein Center as Westerville North participated in Ohio State’s team camp for the second consecutive day. The Warriors opened the day with a blowout win against Massillon Jackson with multiple members of the Ohio State coaching staff keeping an eye on the game.
The Buckeyes have not offered, but they continue to show interest.
“They definitely fit high on my radar for me, personally,” he said. “I’m pretty sure they like how I play. I hope so. We talk every now and then. I’m supposed to come for a visit this month.”
Toledo and Akron are also scheduled to host Cornett on visits in June, he said. While he played in his first of three games June 5, Cornett was watched by Ohio State assistants Dave Dickerson, Mike Wells, Jamall Walker and Brian Walsh, recruiting coordinator Terence Dials and program assistant William Buford.
They saw several highlight plays, including one on which Cornett blocked a shot, gathered the ball, pushed it up the floor to an open teammate, sprinted toward the basket and took a lob thrown back to him for a dunk.
“A play like that, that’s multiple winning plays, all-in-one plays,” he said. “It made it even better that the lob came from my brother (Tyson), so that was special. He’s got to throw that one up.”
Cornett said he looks at rosters when he thinks about where he might play collegiately.
“What program could I fit in the most?” he said. “What program recruits players that are more like me and have my game style, like tall, versatile, strong, bigger guards? Also, looking at a program that develops players, too. The development is the big thing for me. If they can develop someone who plays like me, that’s something I definitely look for.”
247Sports.com ranks Cornett as a three-star prospect. He’s the No. 112 national prospect, the No. 19 shooting guard and No. 7 player in Ohio, and this season Cornett said he has to be ready to step into more of a leadership role on a team he said features only two returners with varsity experience.
Cornett said he’s working to improve his jumper and get stronger.
“I have to keep improving and getting stronger and bigger,” he said. “I’m working on my shot. Always working on my shot. That’s my No. 1 priority right now, because I have to be able to hit the open shot. Also, getting downhill, using my body, elevating over smaller defenders.”

WARREN TWP., Ohio (WKBN) — Nearly 1,400 people in Warren were without power Sunday evening after a vehicle crashed into a utility pole.
People in the affected area were without power for about three hours until it was restored around 11:30 p.m.
Police told our crew on scene that a Toyota had driven into a utility pole on Mahoning Avenue around 8:30 p.m. Officers said two people left the vehicle and left the scene on foot.
Impact from the crash caused power lines to spark about 100 yards away, just within the City of Warren. The sparking powerlines lit surrounding bushes on fire, and crews worked to quickly put out the flames.
Part of Mahoning Avenue is closed off at this time.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
