MLS Futbolito sells out New York event

“Major League Soccer today announced that the 2006 edition of MLS Futbolito, the official 4-v-4 tournament of MLS, set a record for most teams participating in a single event on Saturday. The 180 teams registered for this past weekend’s tour stop in New York, which constituted a sellout, made it the largest MLS Futbolito event since the program’s inception in 2003. MLS Futbolito, presented by Panasonic, RadioShack and Sierra Mist, is open to people of all ages and abilities. It is the centerpiece of a day-long soccer festival that includes food, music, sponsor elements and a chance to interact with soccer legends. Additional sponsors of the 2006 tour include adidas, Burger King, Honda, ICI Paints and State Farm.

MLS Futbolito is the largest touring Hispanic event hosted by any U.S. professional sports league, and recently expanded to 16 events in 15 markets with the addition of Phoenix and Philadelphia. The 2006 tour includes the following cities: Los Angeles (Chivas), Houston, San Antonio, Miami, Dallas, Salt Lake City, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., New York, Chicago, Columbus, New Jersey, Denver, Phoenix, Los Angeles (Galaxy) and San Jose. The next stop on the 2006 MLS Futbolito tour is in Chicago on August 6, coinciding with the 2006 Sierra Mist MLS All-Star Game.”
