They are often the most passionate fans, the most passionate players, coaches, supporters, and we are so very grateful to have them a part of what we call our swarm,\u201d said Kiki Solano, marketing director for Utah Royals FC, the women\u2019s professional soccer team.<\/p>\n<p>To recognize the community, she and others gathered Monday to announce the Utah Royals will host Celebrando Nuestro Futuro \u2014 Celebrating our Future in English \u2014 in conjunction with the team\u2019s Aug. 2 game at America First Field in Sandy against the Portland Thorns. The event will feature music, traditional dancing and more geared to the Latino community, while the winning teams in a youth soccer tournament later this month, Copa Tonahuac, will be recognized during halftime of the game.<\/p>\n<p>Parallel to that, Miller Sports and Entertainment will host the third annual installment of B\u00e9isbol en Salt Lake, a two-day exhibition baseball series featuring teams from Mexico\u2019s Pacific League. This year\u2019s games will be held on Sept. 26 and 27 at the Ballpark at America First Square in South Jordan, home to the Salt Lake Bees baseball team. The featured squads will be Las \u00c1guilas de Mexicali and Los Jaguares de Nayarit.<\/p>\n<p>Dustin Dehlin, vice president of business development for Miller Sports, said the passion in the Latino community is strong for both soccer and baseball. Miller Sports owns the Utah Royals, the Salt Lake Bees and Real Salt Lake, the men\u2019s professional soccer team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re just grateful for the fandom and the excitement that they bring into the games,\u201d as well as the Latino population\u2019s contributions to the state as a whole, Dehlin said. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing how many people there are that do so much good in the community, and we want to have that opportunity to celebrate in a way that\u2019s meaningful for them and recognizes them and all that they do to support our community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/americanmovershub.com\/?p=3448\">Utah matches Barrett Hayton\u2019s offer sheet<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Similar to the activities planned for the Aug. 2 Utah Royals game, B\u00e9isbol en Salt Lake events will include vendors, food, live music, folkloric dancing and more that celebrate Latino culture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a great way &#8230; to bring the community together in a way that\u2019s very meaningful and impactful. (It) allows them to come and really enjoy a sport that they really love together in a way that they\u2019re used to seeing it in Mexico,\u201d said Dehlin. He took part in the Utah Royals announcement on Monday at America First Field and planned to take part in a separate formal announcement on Tuesday of the B\u00e9isbol en Salt Lake plans.<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018United families, creating friendships\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Also speaking at Monday\u2019s announcement was Salvador Lazalde of the Federation of United Mexicans in Utah, an advocacy group for the Mexican and Mexican American communities in Utah. The federation is organizing the Copa Tonahuac youth soccer tournament, which will be held July 24-26 and feature as many as 50 teams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSoccer has the power of uniting families, creating friendships,\u201d said Lazalde. Pointing to the World Cup soccer tournament, still underway, he emphasized the role of sports in even bringing people from different countries together.<\/p>\n<p>Utah Sen. Luz Escamilla, D-Salt Lake City, also spoke at the event, stressing the importance of sports in keeping kids active and healthy, among other things.
