Brazil vs. Mexico friendly confirmed to take place at Kyle Field
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) – Two global powerhouse soccer teams will play on Kyle Field this summer.
Texas A&M announced Brazil and Mexico will play at the historic stadium on campus on June 8. The match will mark the first-ever international soccer event at Kyle Field, according to Texas A&M Athletics.
The game will be an international friendly as the two teams prepare for the 2024 CONMEBOL Copa America Tournament that will be played in the United States starting June 20.
“Kyle Field — a beacon of collegiate sporting excellence — is more than a football stadium. It’s a special place where memories are made and legends are born. It creates an electric atmosphere that fuels players and fans alike. We in Aggieland are ready to welcome the Brazil and Mexico teams and their fans with a warm ‘Howdy!’ this summer for what promises to be an unforgettable experience for all,” Texas A&M President Mark A. Welsh III said in a statement.
There is a potential for the match to break the current attendance record for a Mexico men’s soccer match in the United States. Kyle Field holds 102,733. The previous record was set in 2010 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.
“This is outstanding news for Texas A&M University. We are excited to host this international event. It is my hope that we can establish a record-setting crowd to watch this exciting soccer match at Kyle Field.” Texas A&M Interim Athletics Director R.C. Slocum said.
