Indy Eleven News Release


INDIANAPOLIS - Indy Eleven will not have to wait much longer to receive the first piece of hardware for its trophy case, as NASL Commissioner Bill Peterson will be in attendance at IUPUI's Michael A. Carroll Stadium next Saturday, July 9, to present the undefeated "Boys in Blue" with their NASL Spring Season trophy.

The presentation will take place during the pre-game ceremonies of Indy Eleven's NASL Fall Season home debut against Minnesota United FC, set to kickoff at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Tickets for the match - which could feature the official NASL debut of new Indy Eleven midfielder and Mexican National Team legend Gerardo Torrado - and passes for the club's third annual Indiana Craft Beer Festival, presented by Union Jack Pub & Murello's Uptown Bail Bonds, are available at IndyEleven.com or over the phone at 317-685-1100 (weekdays, 9am-5pm, closed on July 4th holiday).

"Indy Eleven fans have proven they are the best in the NASL over the last three seasons. We cannot wait to lift the trophy in their honor and the team's honor on July 9th," said Indy Eleven president Jeff Belskus. "Every Indy Eleven supporter should look forward to being a part of this evening and join the club in thanking our very special collection of players and coaches."

As has been tradition since the NASL began its split-season format in 2013, Commissioner Peterson will hand the trophy to the captain of the respective season's victor, with Indy Eleven defender Colin Falvey set to take the hand-off next Saturday evening in the minutes leading up to kickoff.

Details regarding opportunities for fans to take photos with the first trophy in team history will be unveiled on IndyEleven.com and the team's social media channels early next week.

Indy Eleven (4W-6D-0L) will begin its 22-game Fall Season - and quest for a second piece of hardware in 2016 - tomorrow, Saturday, July 2, when it travels to the Caribbean to serve as the opposition in Puerto Rico FC's Inaugural Game. Fans can watch the 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff from the Estadio Juan Ramon Loubriel in Bayamon live on WISH-TV and online via ESPN3.com.
