Orange County SC News Release


IRVINE, CA (October 16, 2014) - Orange County Blues FC is happy to announce an International friendly match against El Salvador Primera Division side Club Deportivo Atlético Marte on Sunday, November 16th at 4pm PT at Santa Ana Stadium in Santa Ana, California. This will be the first International match for the recently rebranded OC Blues FC, and the club is excited to be playing against a top flight team such as C.D. Marte.

C.D. Marte has won eight Primera Division titles. They also won the CONCACAF Cup Winners Cup in 1991, and were the runners-up in the 1981 CONCACAF Champions League, then called the CONCACAF Champions Cup. The 45,000 seat Estadio Cuscatlan in San Salvador serves as the home pitch for "Los Maricanos" as well as the El Salvador National team.

C.D. Marte will be coming to Orange County with four El Salvador National Team members on their roster: defender Mario Martinez, defender Marcelo Tejeda, forward Danis Ramirez, and defender Francisco Garcia, who just earned his first call up with the national team for their recent friendlies against Colombia and the Korea Republic.

As the LA Blues, the club has played several international matches. In September 2012, the Blues played Guatemalan side Xelaju M.C. and Mexican heavyweight C.F. Pachuca. Only a month later, the Blues also played the Mexican U-20 National Team.

Tickets for the Atletico Marte vs Blues match are available for $25 for general admission seating, while groups of 10 or more can be purchased for $22. VIP midfield seats are available for $30, with groups of 10 or more available for $27. Call (714) 738-8011 or email seats@bluessoccerclub.com to purchase or for more information.
