Two days of intense soccer activity that we will never forget.
The third stop of the 2024 Alianza de Futbol Tour, held in Colorado Springs, CO, on July 6-7, was a great success despite the weather challenges.
More than twenty thousand people gathered at the Pomar Youth Sports Park for a range of tournaments, tryouts programs, and fun activities at the Sponsor Village, which came to life with music, raffles, merchandise for sale, and other activities organized by the sponsors. Despite the heavy rain on Sunday, the participants' spirits remained high.
Colorado Springs saw a high demand for teams in the Verizon Copa Alianza, Ford Copita Alianza, and Alianza 5v5 competitions, as well as 335 young players aspiring to be professionals in the Allstate Sueño Alianza scouting program.
Scouts from San Diego FC (an expansion team debuting in MLS in 2025), Club América, and U.S. Soccer evaluated the young talent. Six rising stars received at least one invitation to continue a process with these teams or join the Allstate National Showcase in October. The invitations went to:
Melanie Robles: ACCESS U and Club América
Giancarlo Domínguez: Club América and National Showcase
Aiden Jiménez: Club América
Francisco Sánchez: Club América
Laila Carter: National Showcase
Angel Castillo: National Showcase
