Sueño Five begin two-week trials
Friday evening the five talented players began their two week trials with scrimmages amongst the Chivas USA U-19 team in preparation for the training sessions ahead. Starting Monday, March 12th goalkeeper Aldo Iñiguez (age 20) of San Fernando, California will train in the mornings with Chivas USA's 28-man roster, while the four players, Jorge Flores (age 17), Carlos Ruiz (age 18), Abraham Garcia (age 17), and Miguel Sanchez (age 19) will train in the evenings with the Chivas USA U-19's.
"We are pleased to have found enough talented, young players to warrant a call back of all five. However, this is not the end of the road. Each player will have to show his best during these two weeks if he hopes to earn a spot with Chivas USA," said Chivas USA Director of Soccer Dennis te Kloese. "We look forward to seeing the best from each of them during the course of the next two weeks, and to announcing our Sueño MLS winner on March 25."
The players, who were chosen from a group of 2,000 aspiring participants players from across the United States and several foreign countries during open tryouts held in mid-February. A week later they beat out 60 players in the semifinals, and last Saturday they shined brightest at The Home Depot Center's world-class soccer stadium, where the "Final 24" took on the Chivas USA Under-19's.
On Sunday, March 25, one standout will be crowned the winner of Sueño MLS during Univision's popular weekly sports show, República Deportiva, which airs Sundays at 11 a.m. ET (12 p.m. PT) and has been following this month-long search and sharing it with their national television audience in special weekly segments. In addition to the title of Sueño MLS champion, and a spot with Chivas USA's full 28-man roster or U-19 team, the winner will also receive adidas equipment and a special family ticket package to Chivas USA's home games at The Home Depot Center.
