Looks like Minnesota United FC has another preseason foe on deck.

According to Istra 1961's website, the Loons will face the Croatian first division team Feb. 3 (remember, Europeans have the dates opposite from how we do).

Istra is currently eighth in the Croatian league at 4-9-7, ending last season in ninth of 10 teams.

United will play Vancouver Whitecaps on Feb. 9, Portland Timbers on Feb. 12 and Real Salt Lake on Feb. 15 (all at Providence Park in Portland) also during preseason.
