TECATE LAUNCHES NATION-WIDE SEARCH FOR

OFFICIAL SOCCER CORRESPONDENT TEAM

Adult Fans Encouraged to Apply for a Chance to Cover Fútbol Game of their Choice in Mexico or U.S.

NEW YORK (May 15, 2012) – Tecate, cerveza con carácter, today launched the national search for a group of soccer fans with enough character and skills to travel to and report on a soccer game of the team’s choice in Mexico or the U.S. As the “Tecate Correspondent Team”, the selected individuals will receive round-trip airfare, accommodations, tickets to the game and an opportunity to share their passion for the sport via the brand’s official Facebook page, www.Facebook.com/Tecate.

“Tecate knows that without fans, soccer would be nothing but a game. It is the aficionados’ cheers, rituals, and enthusiasm that feed the energy of the stadium and elevate the team’s spirits,” said Felix Palau, vice president of marketing for Tecate. “By searching for and selecting the most ardent soccer fans in the country, we will not only complement our long-standing support of sports con carácter, but give consumers a platform through which to celebrate and share their appreciation for fútbol.”

To apply for the opportunity to become the “Tecate Correspondent Team”, a group of three adults 21 or older must register on Tecate’s Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/Tecate) between May 1 and August 26, 2012. Applicants will have the opportunity to prove their ability to communicate their unique insight, perspective and passion for soccer to others through their blogging and reporting skills, by completing a short online application. The top five eligible groups will be interviewed by a panel of experts, who will select the most qualified trio to capture the excitement of a soccer game of their choice in Mexico or in the U.S. through articles, photos and videos.

Details of the search will be communicated to consumers via thematic point of sale materials at retail locations throughout the country. Featuring the tagline “Deja que tu Pasión te Lleve” or “Let Your Passion Take You”, and elaborated by Dieste, they include mass-displays, posters, price cards and mail-in rebates on the purchase of Tecate or Tecate Light product and related snacks. For complete eligibility requirements and rules, please visit www.Facebook.com/Tecate.

The Revolution Has Begun (American Soccer Revolution)

The United States is 2 or 3 World Cups away from being serious contenders, if we change the way we play the game, now. We need to bring America to the beautiful game. Our country has always made its own way, but when it comes to soccer we are trying to find our place within the world’s game. Not only will we not win like this. It will continue to be difficult to bring in better athletes and new fans.

Soccer is one of the first sports our youth play. Where are we losing them and why? I believe it has to do with the way it is presented. Soccer is the game you play when you first decide to play organized sports. It gives the kids a chance to run around but, no one really takes it seriously. When children are first introduced to football, basketball, baseball etc., it is intense from the word go. We have to do the same with soccer.
In a country where football is the game of choice, we can’t have players diving; rolling on the ground when the replay shows they weren’t even touched. It goes back to the old American sayings “rub some dirt on it” or “walk it off.” This is what is meant by bringing America to the beautiful game.

The Philanthropist of the American Game (P.A.G.) is committed to doing this, giving the American game an identity. Every sport in America has had some sort of innovation. It’s time to innovate soccer. I refuse to believe that our play in the 2010 World Cup is the best we can do. We can play with skill on the ball; have dangerous free kick takers, beautiful passes and the toughness we as Americans are known for. We just don’t teach it that way, until now.

How do I plan on spreading the message? I will spread the message through websites such as VaSoccerNews, FaceBook, Twitter, and YouTube commercials if I have to. The style of play and mentality that will be presented is one that entices “athletes” to come play the sport, not just soccer players. What is the style? The style will be fast, physical, athletic and smart. Soon you will have the mind of Peyton Manning commanding the Midfield, the athleticism of Dwayne Wade at the Striker position and the range and leadership of Derek Jeter at Center Back. And they will play and stay in America.

The long term goal for P.A.G. is to be a symbol of American soccer. By wearing it either on your uniforms or just your day to day attire, it will mean you believe in a better brand of soccer. A brand only we as Americans are capable of playing.

The long term goal for me is to coach. I will teach the game. I am a firm believer of leading by example. If I want my team in shape, I will be in shape. If I want them to remain calm under adversity, I must do the same.

The 2010 World Cup showed us we are ready to compete. It’s time to take the next step.

I am the Philanthropist of the American Game. You can be too.
