Sixty-four Chicago students, ages 14-16, will have the unique
opportunity to experience the historic 2016 Copa América Centenario
matches directly from the field. Sprint (NYSE: S), an official
partner of Copa América Centenario, has teamed up with Boys &
Girls Clubs of Chicago’s Little Village Club and America SCORES
Chicago by offering their members a chance to represent the City as
flagbearers at opening ceremonies during the matches on June 5, 7,
10 and 22 at Soldier Field.
“These students are soccer enthusiasts so for many it’s both an
honor for them to serve as a flagbearer, and a dream come true,”
said Jim Mills, Sprint President of Illinois and Wisconsin. “We’re
proud to work alongside Boys & Girls Club of Chicago and
America SCORES Chicago to offer this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
to our local youth.”
This year’s Copa América is not only designed to celebrate the
100th anniversary of the first Copa América but it is also a chance
to bring all of the Americas into one competition for the first
time. Ten U.S.-based venues will host the prestigious South
American tournament, including Chicago.
The flagbearers’ responsibilities include leading the referees
and players onto the pitch for the start of the match and to
position the country flags for the playing of the national anthems
of the competing teams. Tickets to watch the matches will be
provided to all of the flagbearers and their chaperones as well as
specially created uniforms, meals and refreshments.
Landon Donovan, soccer legend, will be meeting with fans on
Monday, June 6th from 5 – 7 p.m. at a local Sprint store in the
Thompson Center. During the meet-and-greet, Sprint will be giving
away free pairs of tickets to the USA vs. Costa Rica soccer match
on June 10 and other prizes for the first several fans to tweet a
picture on-site with the hashtags #Sprint4Chi and #Sprint4Copa. No
purchase is necessary.
