FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution invite fans to a special night at Gillette Stadium on Saturday, August 20 at 7:30 p.m. ET, when the team hosts a Diego Fagundez bobblehead giveaway presented by Mountain Dew prior to the evening’s game against Columbus Crew SC. Fans will have the opportunity to take home this limited edition item commemorating the club’s first Homegrown Player’s spectacular volley goal scored against Chicago on June 13, 2015. The bobblehead captures Fagundez’s focus, precision, and unique hairstyle as it appeared at the moment he connected for the memorable strike.

The first product of the Revolution’s Academy system to play with the first team, Diego Fagundez is in his sixth season with the club at only 21 years old. In 2011, he became the youngest Revolution player to appear in a match at just 16 years old and went on to become the youngest player in MLS history to make 100 appearances and score 25 goals. Fagundez was named team MVP in 2013 after he totaled 13 goals and seven assists. This season, the midfielder has played in all of the Revs’ MLS games, recording three goals and two assists.
Prior to joining the Revolution’s first team in 2011, the Uruguay native had a impressive run with the Revolution Academy Under-16 and Under-18 teams, including back-to-back selections to the U.S. Soccer Development Academy U15/U16 National Starting XI. Prior to joining the academy, Fagundez, who was raised in Leominster, Mass., won State Cup championships in 2008 and 2009 as a member of the FC Greater Boston Bolts. On the national level, he has competed for the Uruguay Under-20 National Team and the U.S. Under-14 Boys’ National Team.
This is the fifth straight season in which the Revs have given away bobbleheads, with current Revolution players Andrew Farrell, Lee Nguyen, José Gonçalves, and Kelyn Rowe being featured in the past, as well as current head coach Jay Heaps and the club’s mascot, Slyde.
