HOUSTON, TX (Friday, May 30, 2008) - The two-time defending MLS Cup champion Houston Dynamo will visit the White House on Thursday, June 5, to be congratulated by President George W. Bush for the second straight year, the team announced Friday.

Like last year, the Dynamo will go on a tour of the White House and meet with President Bush to honor the team's 2007 MLS Cup championship, won in Washington, D.C. on November 18, 2007 with a 2-1 victory over the New England Revolution. The Dynamo are the first MLS squad to make consecutive visits to the White House.

The White House visit comes the day after the Dynamo take on D.C. United at RFK Stadium. Last year, the Dynamo visited the White House on May 29 and proceeded to win their next five games and go unbeaten in 11 consecutive league games.

Team president and general manager Oliver Luck, along with equity partner Gabriel Brener, will accompany the Dynamo on the White House trip. The team will be made available to photographers at 11:15 a.m. For White House credential information, media can contact Elizabeth Chervenak at (202) 456-6238.

To celebrate the team's trip and its two consecutive championships, the first 7,500 fans in attendance for the June 8 game against Toronto FC will receive a specially designed Dynamo championship lapel pin like those worn by the team on its White House visit. The Dynamo's attire for the visit was provided by Houston business Lucho's Men's Clothing.
