Copa Rayados Internacional Tournament 2023
HTX
Soccer aligned with it's newest partner C.F. Monterrey Rayados by
supporting the Copa Rayados Internacional Tournament, November 22-26,
2023. Three hundred and forty (340) teams were present at the home of
HTX Soccer which included participation from domestic and international
top level competition.
“This was an extremely exciting and
professionally hosted tournament with some superb competition from
across the country and internationally," said Coach Alex Cardenas, Boys
Academy Director. "To be able to play this level of competition on home
soil without extensive travel is very much appreciated by our teams and
families over the Thanksgiving holiday period. It was also used as
part of the first identification process within this exclusive
partnership with C.F. Monterrey Rayados."
"Another great
tournament by Copa Rayados with great facilities and competition," said
Coach Gutierrez, ECNL-RL North Director. "Our ECNL-RL 09B had an
opportunity to play some very strong teams from areas that we do not see
in our regular league play. International teams from El Salvador and
Mexico were our part of the schedule as well as teams from Texas and out
of state. After a slow start to the tournament, the team did a great
job to finish strong and won the consolation championship."
"We
just completed the 11th Annual Copa Rayados Internacional, and are very
pleased with the success of this year’s tournament," said Scott
Spencer, Tournament Director. "With 340 teams, including 75
international teams plus teams from across the country, it’s an
important part in the growth strategy of Monterrey Rayados. The
competition has never been better! This builds and strengthens our
partnership with HTX Soccer as Monterrey expands its initiatives in the
Houston market."
