International Arena Soccer action returns to the Stockton Arena when the U.S. National Arena Soccer Team (USNAST) hosts Team Mexico on Saturday, September 14th at 6 PM. The match is presented by the Stockton Rush and the American Association of Soccer567. Tickets on sale THIS FRIDAY, August 23, at Stockton Arena box office and Ticketmaster.com.
Included in this year’s roster is U.S. soccer legend Landon Donovan, who will play for Team USA during the match. Donovan is the all-time leader in assists for the U.S. men’s national team while also sharing the all-time scoring lead with Clint Dempsey as well as owning the second-most international caps. Donovan won a record six MLS Cups, owns the league’s all-time record for assists at 136, and is now the namesake for the league’s MVP award—the Landon Donovan MVP Award.
“We are looking forward to bringing back arena soccer to Stockton with this exciting matchup between USA and Mexico,” said Bernie Lilavois, who serves as the USNAST General Manager. “Soccer fans in the region will have this opportunity to not only watch two top national teams who have built up a rivalry over the last several years but also Landon Donovan playing in the game. This game will be a must see event!”
