Tonight’s international match between the hometown DC United and Mexican League champs UNAM Pumas will be something special for the Bolivians in the area. Both teams come equipped with Bolivian firepower with last year’s near-MVP Jaime Moreno for DC United and the inconsistent forward Joaquin Botero for Pumas (pictured).
This semi-final match for the CONCACAF Champion’s Cup, which will determine the best club team in North and Central America, will likely be overlooked by most of DC. However, it could attract some of the tens of thousands of Bolivians in the area. The game is tonight at Washington’s RFK Stadium at 7:30 p.m. The last team standing will qualify to play in the World Club tournament to be held in Japan later this year.
