MEETING THE PLAYERS

TIJUANA –Club Tijuana Xoloitzcuintles de Caliente had a special visit to practice Tuesday morning Sept. 9 on the field next to Estadio Caliente.

More than 70 Club Tijuana fans got the chance to experience a great moment thanks to the team and to its sponsoring partner Comex. The paint company awarded its customers with a contest on social media.

Afra Altamirano Martinez, the company’s North Region Publicity Coordinator, worked with the Xoloitzcuintles to bring a great experience for the fans and to bring a social responsibility to fans in the region.

“This activity is part of the 2014 sponsorship with Club Tijuana,” Martinez said. “One of Comex’s strategies is to bring the painter, construction worker and metal worker closer to the players. We have a group of people who are being spoiled with a boxed lunch and some prizes. There are about 70 winners that came out of a contest on social media. This means a lot to us because Xolos is one of those clubs that has brought us a lot of success.”

Club Tijuana remains focused on its Week 8 LIGA Bancomer MX match Saturday Sept. 13 against Pachuca (6:06 p.m. Pacific) at Estadio Hidalgo.
