ROSE BOWL DERBY
America to play Cruz Azul, July 10

Two of Mexico’s top teams will play each other at the Rose Bowl the same weekend as the World Cup final. Cruz Azul and Club America will square off in a 7pm game on Saturday July 10.

America has won more titles than any other team from Mexico with a combined 33 championships in their team history, of which 10 are Mexican league championships. Cruz Azul also comes with a resume of titles including eight Mexican league championships, two Copa Mexico titles, and five CONCACAF Champion Cups.

“Simply put, this is one of the biggest rivalries in Mexico and even on the world soccer stage,” said Rudy Ybarra, President of Santa Barbara Soccer Entertainment, the event’s promoter. “As a lead in match to the World Cup Final the next day, local soccer fans in the Los Angeles area are in for a real treat.”

Tickets will be available through Ticketmaster and at local soccer stores.
