Mexico vs. Colombia soccer in Commerce City
Contributed by: Colorado Rapids on 6/27/2007

Commerce City, CO (Wednesday, June 27, 2007) - The Colorado Rapids, in conjunction with the Federacion Mexicana de Futbol and Soccer United Marketing, announced the third stop on the Mexican National Team U.S. 2007 Tour with a match scheduled for Wednesday, August 22, 2007 versus Colombia at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado (8:00 p.m. MT; TV: Telemundo; Radio: Futbol de Primera). Mexico vs. Colombia is presented by Visa®.

The last time that the Mexican National Team played in Colorado was back in 2002, when they faced the United States National Team in front of 48,476 fans in a game that was held at Invesco Field.

Tickets will go on sale for the general public starting Thursday, July 5 at noon (MT). Tickets start as low as $25 and can be purchased online at TicketHorse.com, at the box office at Dick's Sporting Goods Park (10am - 6pm M-F, 10am - 3pm Sat.), as well as at any Colorado Dick's Sporting Goods location. For more information, or for group ticket orders, fans should call (303) 825-GOAL.

Today, fans may use their Visa card to purchase tickets during an exclusive, ongoing presale by logging onto http://www.ticketingcentral.com/V2/Home.aspx?Context=7596413&Offer=406378 or by calling TicketHorse at 1-866-461-6556. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and are only available while supplies last. There is a limit of four tickets per customer for the presale. Visa is a proud sponsor of the Federación Mexicana de Futbol.

The match between the two squads will mark the 23rd game between Mexico and Colombia. "El Tricolor" has an 11 win, four loss and eight tie record in their favor. Their last meeting was a July 17, 2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinal match at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas, where Colombia eliminated Mexico from the region's tournament.

A special fan interactive area, Futbol Fiesta, which spans more than 100,000 square feet, will be featured prior to the game and it will include live music and thousands of promotional items.

The Mexican National Team's U.S. tour not only allows its U.S.-based fans to witness their nation's matches first hand, but allows the team to play top flight opponents while strengthening its player pool and preparing for major international tournaments. Mexico finished second in the recently-concluded 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup, falling to their arch-rivals, the United States, 2-1. Mexico is now in Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela, where they will face Brazil (June 27), Ecuador (July 1) and Chile (July 4) in the first round phase of Copa America.
