The City of McAllen Parks and Recreation Department welcomes two outstanding teams from Mexico's premier professional soccer division, Rayados of Monterrey and Los Tuzos de Pachuca, as they face off Saturday, September 4, at Veterans Memorial Stadium.
Gates open at 5 pm and the main event begins at 9 pm.
In an afternoon news conference on Thursday, City of McAllen Parks and Recreation Director Sally Gavlik said she hoped the top notch soccer match up becomes an annual event.
"We are very excited that the teams are going to be here," said Gavlik. "We have 1600 children that are playing soccer and (for them) to be able to see professional soccer players come in here is something that will really promote soccer to those young players."
VIP, reserved and general admission tickets for the event are available (while they last) at www.ez-tixx.com, at Taco Rico, and Taqueria La Mexicana. For more information, call (956) 905-7945 and (956) 278-2206.
