FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Tomorrow evening, September 22, the New England Revolution will recognize the diverse Hispanic and Latino cultures in the New England region with Hispanic Heritage Night, held in conjunction with the Revs’ match against the New York Red Bulls at 7:30 p.m. at Gillette Stadium. The event is being held to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrated nationally September 15 through October 15.

The highlight of the evening will be the championship match of the new Liga de Campeones, the Revolution’s tournament of regional multi-cultural adult soccer leagues.


Six teams advanced to the final bracket in the 2012 Liga de Campeones, and the final will feature the Union Stars of Boston’s Union International Soccer League against Goinaninho FC of Marlboro’s Hispanic Soccer League. The two finalists will feature on the Gillette Stadium field at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, before the Revs host the Red Bulls. The champion will be recognized on-field later in the evening at halftime of the Revs-Red Bulls match.
