Celebrate the Official Signing Ceremony for Philly's WPS Team
The Franklin Institute
Philadelphia WPS 2010, Philly's own women's professional soccer team has scheduled a ceremony for its official signing and unveiling of the team's name and colors. This special community event will be Monday, May 18th, 6:00pm at Philadelphia's historic Franklin Institute. Area media correspondents, Philadelphia area dignitaries/VIP's, and soccer enthusiasts of all ages are invited to participate in this celebration.
Philadelphia's new women's professional soccer team, the eighth franchise in Womens Professional Soccer, is led by David Halstead and Matthew Driver, who will also serve as the team's head coach. The team will begin league play in the Spring of 2010. "We are excited to bring women's professional soccer back to the city and the surrounding communities of Philadelphia and to join the other WPS teams in world-class play," said team President and CEO Halstead. General Manager and Coach Driver added, "To be a part of this team, and this city's great sports history and soccer passion is an honor. We are committed to building a franchise that is the model sports organization and the envy of the League. These distinctions will be earned from our level of play on the pitch, our support for our community, and the results we deliver to our fans and partners."
Also scheduled to attend the event is WPS Commissioner, Tonya Antonucci. "It's a testament to the framework that we have put in place that new investment groups and passionate owners are excited about the opportunity to be a part of this league and help WPS grow in the coming years and beyond," said Antonucci, who just last month celebrated the kick off of the WPS inaugural season in Los Angeles.
