Copa Latina 2000
International Amateur Soccer
The Copa Latina is a 32-game adult soccer tournament. The 32 teams, which are selected from the area's elite, multi-cultural leagues, will participate in this four-weekend tournament. Each team is usually identified with either a local ethnic community, a Hispanic league, or a Latin American country.

The Copa Latina is much more than an exciting soccer tournament: it's a festival of cultural entertainment and a celebration of ethnic diversity. Soccer is the fastest growing participation sport among youths and adults in this country. The United States has an abundance of active amateur players, coaches, and youth programs. These enthusiasts are ready and eager to rally their support for a program that recognizes their commitment and passion to the sport, and to a diverse competition.

Over the past eight years, Copa Latina has been a huge success in Miami. For the first time, Copa Latina is coming to New York City, and athletes and fans alike are ready.


Dates: Saturday, July 15th / Sunday, July 16th / Friday, July 21st / Sunday, July 23rd
Where: Columbia University, Baker Field
