Austin Bold FC matches postponed due to positive COVID-19 test

AUSTIN, Texas - Austin Bold FC has announced that two of its upcoming matches have been postponed due to a positive COVID-19 test. The July 23 match against FC Tulsa and the July 26 match against the Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC have been postponed.

Both would have been played at Bold Stadium.

Officials say that the postponement comes out of an abundance of caution following one of Austin Bold FC’s covered persons testing positive for COVID-19, as part of weekly routine testing.

A covered person is on a league-approved list of people that is a combination of players, coaches, and staff who are tested on the league-mandated schedule. They are the only ones approved for on-field access at games and training.
