The ribbon was cut Wednesday morning to officially announce the opening of Texas Health Mansfield Stadium.

Thanks to the region's heavy Czech influence, Saturday's practice session in Mansfield drew a large group of supporters.

Drawn into Group A with Mexico, South Korea and South Africa, Czechia will spend the opening phase of the tournament crisscrossing North America.

It was damp, cloudy and humid Saturday morning, but you wouldn’t have been able to tell by looking at the smiles on the faces of fans entering Mansfield Stadium for Czechia’s community training event.
