What Is It?

What exactly is Tango League? A worldwide effort that gathers young talent from around the globe in a rapid-fire, intense 5-a-side street tournament. Not unlike Neymar’s Five, the Tango League gives athletes with the skill, but perhaps not the platform, the opportunity to showcase their raw talent, increase their social media following, compete with other players across the globe and for a lucky few, the chance to become adidas-sponsored athletes.

Where It’s Been & Where It’s Going

Previously only held in New York City and Los Angeles in the U.S., adidas has confirmed five new Qualifying tournament locations set for this winter and early spring. The goal is to provide more athletes in more markets the chance to win ultimate Tango League bragging rights. The new cities include:

• Dallas, TX @ FORO Sports Club – January 19th
• Houston, TX @ Sports Creek – January 26th
• Seattle, WA (location to come) – February 2nd
• San Diego, CA @ Aviara Community Park – February 9th
• Philadelphia, PA (location to come) – February 16th

What’s at Stake

In each qualifying city, one competing team will win the right to travel to the National Final on March 9, 2019 at the Tango League Championships in Los Angeles where players will battle it out for fame, glory, and the chance to compete on a global stage. From there, the winners of the Los Angeles Championships will travel on to Brazil to compete and create their fame this summer at the 2019 Copa America Finals – yeah, you read that right – COPA AMERICA FINALS.

How to Enter

Open to girls and boys ages 16 to 25, To register, entrants need to download the adidas Tango app; a soccer community platform that allows you to prove and improve your skills and creativity. The new adidas Tango App brings the global soccer community closer together and gives them the chance to shine on a global stage.

Rep your city. Make your name. Change the game. Create your fame.
