May 3, 2012 - Major League Soccer (MLS) D.C. United

Washington, D.C. (May 3, 2012) - D.C. United announced today that the D.C. United SoccerFest - Driven by Volkswagen, the popular regional 4-on-4 tournament, will return to Northern Virginia on Saturday, and Sunday, June 30 and July 1. The tournament will take place at Morven Park in Leesburg, VA. "D.C. United is pleased to return for a second year partnering with this great soccer property that brings fans of all ages and skill levels together for a two-day celebration of sun, fun and soccer," said United Executive Vice President Stephen Zack. "With the help of our friends at Volkswagen, we're excited to stage this great event for soccer players throughout the region."

Now in its second year under the banner of MLS's most decorated professional club, D.C. United SoccerFest - Driven by Volkswagen is a 4-on-4 soccer tournament open to all ages and skill levels, with divisions based on age, gender, and ability. Teams can consist of up to six players with four players on the field at a time. The tournament's small-sided layout was created to offer young soccer players the opportunity to experience increased touches on the ball in a fun, festival style tournament format. Entering its 19th year, divisions have since expanded to include boys and girls ages five through 16, as well as adults.

The tournament franchise continues to attract competition from the entire D.C. metropolitan area and beyond, with over 300 teams competing in various levels of play ranging from recreational through elite.

"Initially created as a satellite event in conjunction with World Cup USA 1994, in which four games were played right here in Washington, this tournament has grown into one of the most popular and highly anticipated participant sports events of the year," said Tournament Director Steve Winter. "We look forward to heralding returning teams and new teams alike to another exciting event."

As an added benefit, each tournament participant will receive one ticket to D.C. United's home match against the Montreal Impact on Saturday, June 30 at RFK Stadium.
