LAREDO, TEXAS — The city of Laredo hosted a press conference and welcome luncheon Friday at the Palenque Grill in anticipation of the United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League quarterfinals.
The Kitsap Pumas and the Fusion of Ventura County, Calif. square off at 3:30 p.m., as do the Bradenton (Fla.) Academics and host Laredo Heat Soccer Club following the Pumas game.
The event was a meet and greet session for the local media and visiting clubs.
City of Laredo Mayor Raul Salinas visited with those in attendance to share a friendly welcome to the out-of-town clubs.
“I am a little bias with my team; however, I hope that each of you have a wonderful visit to our city and hopefully take some time to enjoy its hospitality. But I will be pulling for the Heat”, Salinas said. “Good luck to each of you today, and my wish is that every team plays their best in order to showcase their god-given talents.”
