We want to thank everyone for attending ArtFutbolHTX at Coppa Osteria and helping us kick off this new event series that celebrates Soccer Culture in #Houston.
Guests networked and enjoyed Italian fare as they watched Bettiri do a live painting. The piece depicts the rivalry between El Tri (Mexico) and La Celeste (Uruguay) who will have a showdown on September 7th at NRG Stadium. Tickets are still available.
We will continue connecting Houstonians with the beautiful game… more details coming soon!

Road to Russia: art+fashion show was a success! Yesterday over 150 guests filled the Heineken Star Bar at BBVA Compass Stadium for the second installment of the Road to… event series. Visual artist Betirri exhibited selected art pieces from his collection and SoccerChick by Laura Velasquez presented the new Spring 2018 line.
The event benefited EGMN (El Gato Media Network), a non-profit that provides career development services for underserved students looking to enter media, and guests had the opportunity to contribute by participating in a raffle with prizes thanks to various contributors.
Happy World Cup year! We are very excited to start this new year with lots of soccer and big plans on the horizon. Not only will we be celebrating two years of operations on February 3rd but we are starting the year of with a new client! Soccer continues to grow in the USA and it’s exciting for us to be part of the action in one of the fastest growing leagues, the National Premiere Soccer League (NPSL). Our newest client is Houston Regals SCA, the oldest semi-pro team in Houston and a member of the NPSL’s Lone Star Conference. We are excited to work with them this 2018 Season and manage their marketing, sponsorship and event operations.
On February 24th, Houston Regals SCA will be hosting their Final Tryout in preparation for the 2018 NPSL season. We’re looking for local talent to fill the few remaining roster spots and therefore encourage all players 16 years and older to register here.
For information on sponsorship and other partnership opportunities, please contact Maria Duran at maria@duranconcepts.com.
It’s not every day you get to see a Tweet from former US Men’s National Team (USMNT) member and Houston native , Stuart Holden, develop into a full blown celebrity soccer match.
However, I had the pleasure of working with Stu for many years when he started his professional soccer career at the Houston Dynamo and Kick In for Houston showcases the incredible and caring individual he is. Stu always volunteered for the community events and made sure to stay until everyone had their picture or autograph.

Thanks to the support from fans and community partners, Stu has rounded up some of the biggest names in sports including World Series champ Alex Bregman of the Houston Astros, USMNT member Landon Donovan, USWNT member Mia Hamm, NFL star Chad Ochocinco and NBA great Steve Nash to participate in the action packed fundraiser. This celebrity match co-hosted by Dynamo Charities takes place this Saturday, December 16th at BBVA Compass Stadium and it’s one you don’t want to miss.
Net proceeds from the game will benefit the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund. Fans everywhere can tune into the match broadcast on FS1 or Fox Deportes.
Hurricane Harvey took a big toll on the Greater Houston Area dumping 51 inches of rain and causing damages estimated to reach $75 Billion. Many celebrities have stepped up over the last couple of months including local athletes like JJ Watt & professional teams like the Houston Astros but this is a long recovery and help is still needed across the area. Please consider donating your time, talents and/or funds to certified charities doing work in the community.
