HOUSTON - Shell Energy Stadium, home of Houston Dynamo FC and Houston Dash will host the most-passionate Clásico in Mexican soccer, featuring Club de Futbol Monterrey and Club Tigres for the Clásico Regio, on Saturday, October 14.

Shell Energy Stadium has been the backdrop for several international matches this season. The state-of-the-art venue was selected by Concacaf to host matches for the 2023 Gold Cup and the Bayou City was the only city to be awarded two separate venues.

Shell Energy Stadium, Major League Soccer and Liga MX are preparing to kick off the inaugural Leagues Cup later this week. The tournament, which has been sanctioned by Concacaf, marks the first time two leagues will pause their respective seasons. Leagues Cup will follow a World Cup-style format with all 47 teams from both leagues participating in the first-of-its-kind event. Shell Energy Stadium will welcome Santos Laguna for their match against Houston Dynamo FC on Tuesday, July 25.

Rayados and Tigres have agreed for the Clásico Regio to be played annually in the United States to bring the passion and pride of Nuevo León to all the fans.

El Clásico Regio is considered one of the most-passionate and intense derbies in the world and has only been played in the Unites States three times, all under the Interliga banner. The last time these two teams played in the U.S. was in the group stage of the Interliga 2010 tournament at Robertson Stadium in Houston. This will be the first time that this game is played as a stand-alone event.

Houston's large population hailing from Monterrey will get a chance to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month like never before. Various activities will take place leading up to the game; including a charity event, and a major Fan Fest consisting of team legend appearances, mascots, trophies, celebrities, and musical performances.

Xavier Sánchez, Director of Business for C.F. Monterrey and Antonio Sancho, Vice President of Sports representing Club Tigres UANL, spearheaded the announcement with the presence of legends from both clubs.

There will be a pre-sale on Thursday, July 27th at 10:00 a.m. CDT for Houston Dynamo season-ticket holders and all fans that register at www.elclasicoregiousa.com starting on July 18th. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday, July 28th at 10:00 a.m. CDT and will be available at seatgeek.com.
