U.S. soccer fans plug into Quepasa

Quepasa Corp. has agreed to become the official social networking provider for La Alianza de Futbol Hispano, a national organization dedicated to supporting and developing amateur Hispanic soccer in the United States. In the deal with event marketing and sales organization BRC Group, Quepasa will create and host an online community for Alianza members, players, fans and coaches with the quepasa.com Web site. Quepasa.com also will host all tournament information as well as integrate La Alianza participants into the quepasa.com social network. In return, Quepasa will receive a sponsorship for La Alianza de Futbol Hispano’s 2008 tournament, including radio and print advertising, venue signage and hospitality. Alianza participants will be able to upload pictures and video footage from their matches, and share their tournament experiences with other players and potentially stream events through the community Web site. The partnership will give Quepasa access to more than 300,000 Hispanic soccer players, families, fans and coaches. For more, www.quepasa.com.
