On July 31, Snapdragon Stadium will host an international soccer match between a pair of European behemoths. Manchester United of the UK’s Premiere League and Real Betis from Spain’s LaLiga. It will technically be the preseason for teams across the pond and this is a long way to go for an exhibition match.
San Diego was an easy choice to host it. America’s Finest City has earned a reputation amongst world-class clubs for being a soccer-friendly destination. “I think for our kids here now, it becomes an opportunity to watch the best players play,” says Ramos."And not only that, to recognize that now the door is open for them to become professional players, not just in the United States, but all over the world. We have other players that are already playing there and Real Betis, there's an American playing there, which I think will be a great incentive for the kids.
