CLEVELAND, OHIO- The Cleveland Force and Sportstalkcleveland.com (STC) today announced the formation of a partnership between the two organizations. Force Assistant General Manager Eric Dietrich and Sportstalkcleveland.com President Paul Belfi made the announcement.

The partnership will be in full stride this week, as the first installment of the Force Talk Show will air live on STC. The Force Talk Show will be a 60-minute show that will air every Thursday during the season and will be hosted by Matt Loede. The Force Talk Show will consist of Force players, Coaching Staff or Front Office.

"I'm looking forward to a long and fun relationship with the Cleveland Force. I want to help re-establish the passion and excitement that the Cleveland Force Soccer brand once had. The Force has an exciting blend of young, aggressive talent combined with the veteran leadership of Hector Marinaro and Otto Orf. I couldn't be more pleased to be associated with the franchise," commented Belfi on the partnership.

In addition to the Force Talk Show, STC will air information on upcoming events, promotions, and games. STC will promote games at the Convocation Center at Cleveland State University as well as broadcast games on WUAB 43 and on WHK 1220 The Word.

"The opportunity to help promote the sport of soccer and increase the awareness of the Cleveland Force is fantastic. SportsTalkCleveland.com will be doing 'Night Out With The Force' promotions including ticket giveaways as well as the talk show on Thursday afternoons at 2:00 pm EST with Andy Schmetzer and STC sports talk show host Matt Loede. We've only scratched the surface," stated Belfi.

The Force will provide access to STC via a link from www.clevelandforce.com.

"We are very excited to begin this partnership with Sportstalkcleveland.com. This partnership will provide our fans another avenue to get the latest news on the Force. We look forward a long working relationship with STC," commented Dietrich.
