Quepasa Corporation to Enter Into a Partnership With BRC Group

Quepasa Corporation , one of the world’s largest, bicultural, Latino online communities, today announced that it is working towards entering into an agreement with BRC Group to become the official social networking provider for La Alianza de Futbol Hispano, a BRC Group property and leading national organization dedicated to supporting and developing amateur Hispanic soccer in the United States. As part of the agreement, Quepasa would create and host an on-line community for Alianza members, players, fans and coaches across the United States.

Quepasa Corporation will advance BRC Group $300,000 under a Note Payable, with the understanding that the parties will work towards entering into an agreement establishing the parties’ relationship within the next 30 days and, at such time, Quepasa Corporation would provide an additional $300,000 payable over six months. Upon consummation of the partnership, Quepasa Corporation will create a La Alianza community within their quepasa.com website. Quepasa.com will also host all of the La Alianza de Futbol Hispano tournament information and will integrate La Alianza participants into the quepasa.com social network. In return, Quepasa will receive an official sponsorship for the La Alianza de Futbol Hispano 2008 tournament which includes: radio and print advertising, signage at the venues, event tickets, and hospitality. The Alianza participants will be able to upload pictures and video footage from their matches, and share their tournament experiences with other Alianza players and potentially stream events through the community web site. This partnership will immediately bring Quepasa access to over 300,000 Hispanic soccer players, families, fans and coaches across the United States. The 2007 Alianza season concludes this week with a championship match televised by Fox Sports en Espanol on January 20th, 2008 at 7pm EST.

Founded in 2002, the BRC Group is an event marketing and sales group, headed by Richard Copeland and Brad Rothenberg. BRC Group has produced more than 400 event days of Hispanic soccer, which have been attended by more than 1 million consumers. Over the past three years, they have been focused on developing Copa Alianza (www.alianzadefutbol.net) into the most prestigious Hispanic amateur soccer tournament in the United States. Copa Alianza brings together and showcases the talents of Hispanic amateur players nationwide through its sponsored local, regional and national tournaments. Alianza and its corporate partners reach out to a growing community of hundreds of thousands of Latino soccer players and their families. “Quepasa is excited about the potential of the BRC Group relationship,” said John C. Abbott, Chief Executive Officer of Quepasa. “Soccer resonates within the Hispanic community and we believe that the quepasa.com social network is the perfect platform to bring La Alianza participants together online.”

“We are excited to bring our Alianza de Futbol Hispano property to the internet with Quepasa in order to strengthen our relationship and offerings to the Hispanic soccer community around the United States. Quepasa is the perfect partner to help us accomplish these goals,” said Richard Copeland, co-founder of BRC Group.”
