Washington -- D.C. United and their charitable arm, United for D.C., will open their holiday auction on Wednesday, November 26 at dcunited.com. Soccer fans will be able to bid on exclusive items not available for purchase anywhere else, with proceeds going to United's charitable arm. The auction listings, which will close on Wednesday, December 10, provide the perfect opportunity to get a jump-start on holiday shopping while supporting United for D.C.'s many programs.

One special item up for bid is a D.C. United home game and field level VIP experience.
