his week Quepasa.com (www.Quepasa.com), one of the world’s largest, bicultural, Latino online communities, launched the “Alianza de Futbol Hispano” online community as part of its sponsorship of “Copa Alianza.” The community will serve as Alianza’s primary internet home and gives Quepasa the unique opportunity to connect with 500,000 plus Latino soccer players, fans, and coaches across the United States through Alianza’s program.

“We are proud to be providing ‘Alianza de Futbol Hispano’ with a home for its fans,” commented Quepasa CEO John C. Abbott. “We want to harness the passion of soccer fans by giving them new tools to interact in ways that they have never been able to do before.”

Through the community, members can upload pictures and video footage from matches, share their tournament experiences, and stream events through the community web site. The community also features “Alianza de Futbol Hispano” tournament information and integrates Alianza participants into Quepasa’s social network.

“Soccer is in the DNA of the Latino community,” said Jeff Valdez, Quepasa’s Chairman. “And as fans become more technologically sophisticated so do their needs for more creative ways to share their enthusiasm. We are excited about bringing Alianza into our community and giving fans more ways to connect.”

As an official sponsor of Copa Alianza, Quepasa will have a presence at several of the key tournaments, kicking off this weekend in Phoenix, AZ from June 14-15 at Red Mountain Soccer Complex. Other kickoff dates include Houston, TX: July 12-13, New York, NY: August 2-3, Chicago, IL: August 9-10, and Los Angeles, CA: August 23-24.
