Soccer United Marketing has found a true partner in the Dallas Sports Commission. Under Monica Paul's leadership, we have built programming that has delivered value to fans, the city, and the Mexican National Team. These types of relationships work best when there's an openness to work toward collective objectives, as well as goals that are important to the participating parties. We truly value our partnership with the Dallas Sports Commission and look forward to continued work with them across Mexican National Team and other Soccer United Marketing Events.
