Portland, ORE., March 11^th – adidas #soccer today announced a new partnership with retailer #dickssportinggoods where the two will build on the legacy of the #adidas Tango League and together host five Qualifying Tango League tournaments in new cities across the United States. This spring, #adidas and DICK’S will visit five new locations where they’ll seek out the best street #soccer talent to compete and make their mark; providing a larger national platform for creators everywhere to be discovered. Open to women and men ages 18 to 25, the adidas Tango League gives athletes with the skill, but perhaps not the platform, the opportunity to showcase their raw talent, increase their social media following, compete with other players across the globe and for a lucky few, the chance to become adidas-sponsored athletes.

Previously held in only major metropolitan cities such as #newyorkcity, #losangeles, #dallas, #houston, #seattle and #philadelphia, #adidas and DICK’S have confirmed five new Qualifying tournament locations set for this Spring and Summer, providing more athletes in more markets with the chance to win ultimate Tango League bragging rights.

New dates and locations include:

Saturday, March 23 – Miami, FL: Sawgrass Mills - 12801 West Sunrise Boulevard, Sunrise, FL
Saturday, March 30 – Atlanta, GA: Buford/Mall of Georgia - 3333 Buford Drive Buford, GA
Saturday, April 6 – Washington, D.C.: Bailey’s Crossroads - 5716 Columbia Pike, Bailey's Crossroads, VA
Saturday, April 13 - Boston, MA: Natick - 1336 Worcester Street, Natick, MA
Saturday, April 20 - Chicago, IL: Lombard - 810 E Butterfield Road, Lombard, IL

Additional #adidas tournaments with specialty retail partners include:

Saturday, April 20 – #losangeles – Niky’s (location TBD)
Saturday, April 27 – SoCal – Soccerloco (location TBD)
Saturday, May 4– NYC – Upper90 Astoria - 34-23 38th St, Long Island City, NY

As part of the partnership, #adidas and DICK’S will also host new Tango Clinics for kids ages 10-16, supported by various Major League #soccer clubs in the direct area, that will be led by real MLS players or academy coaches. These 45-minute sessions will run before the Qualifying tournaments in each city listed above for the first 50 kids who are able to register.

Each winning team from Qualifying cities listed above will be flown to #newyorkcity to compete in the North America Final in May. From there, the North America Final Champion will be flown to #losangeles in July for a VIP experience with a global A-Club during the International Champions Cup. To register, entrants need to download the adidas Tango app; a #soccer community platform that allows you to prove and improve your skills and creativity. The new adidas Tango App brings the global #soccer community closer together and gives them the chance to shine on a global stage.

Rep your city. Make your name. Change the game. Create your fame.
