The tournament will feature 16 elite Hispanic adult teams from local leagues and be held over several weekends in April and May at the RFK Stadium Auxiliary Field. The tournament draw will take place on Monday, April 16th at Mi Peru Restaurant, 2715 University Blvd., in Wheaton, Maryland, at 7:00 p.m. All local media are welcome to attend.

"We are pleased to offer this competitive tournament to teams from our local Hispanic leagues," said United Vice President Stephen Zack. "The Hispanic community has long been one of our biggest supporters and we hope this tournament will provide for a fun and competitive atmosphere."
