CARSON, Calif. (Friday, Sept. 21, 2007) - Chivas USA invites soccer fans to Sunday's Grand Opening of the very first ChivasPop Store in the United States, this Sunday, Sept. 23, in the city of Huntington Park, at the heart of Southern California's Mexican and Mexican-American community.

The ChivasPop store, the first of its kind in the U.S., will carry official adidas Chivas USA merchandise, as well as official Reebok merchandise from Chivas USA's Mexican parent club Chivas de Guadalajara, including jerseys, posters, soccer gear and a whole lot more.

ChivasPop stores, which in recent years have opened across Mexico's largest cities, derive their name from 'Chivas Popular', a tribute to Mexico's most beloved soccer brand. The ChivasPop store, the first of its kind for a professional soccer team in Los Angeles County, bears the same layout and feel of all existing ChivasPop stores in Mexico.

Chivas USA captain Claudio 'El Emperador' Suárez, as well as midfielder Francisco Mendoza and forward Maykel Galindo, will be on hand at Sunday's Grand Opening, where Chivas fans will have the opportunity to meet and greet all three players, plus the ChivaGirls and Chivas USA officials.

Fans and media are welcome to come celebrate this unique Chivas experience Sunday. For media RSVP, please contact Keegan Pierce at Chivas USA Communications: kpierce@cdchivasusa.com / (310) 595-5264.
