2007 PDL ORGANIZATION OF THE YEAR!

Fresno, CA...The Fresno Fuego were honored as the 2007 USL Premier Development League Organization of the Year Sunday night in Tampa, FL. The award was announced at the United Soccer Leagues' (USL) Annual Meetings (Soccerfest) in Tampa Florida at the downtown Hyatt. Fresno Fuego VP of Operations Alfredo Guzman was in attendance to accept the award on behalf of the Fresno Fuego.

The PDL Organization of the Year Award is given to the team that demonstrates an overall commitment to success both on and off the field. The Fuego, coached by Scott Alcorn earned a regular season record of 10-4-2, won the Western Conference Championship and were one win away from hosting the National Championship match in Fresno this past summer. Fresno's Pablo Campos, the leading scorer in the country was named the PDL MVP. The Fuego were also a top draw in the PDL attracting more than 3000 fans per game at the team's new home Chukchansi Park, in downtown Fresno.

Fuego Vice President of Operations Alfredo Guzman is very proud of the accomplishment:

"We are very honored to receive such a prestigious award as the PDL Organization of the Year. There are 63 teams in the PDL to choose from, which makes this award even more exclusive. We take as much pride in maintaining a professional environment on the field and with all aspects of soccer operations, as we do off the field, with our marketing, promotional, and community outreach strategies".

The 2008 Fresno Fuego schedule will be released in the next few weeks. For more information on the USL and the Fuego's 2007 PDL Organization of the Year award please refer to the USL website. http://www.uslsoccer.com/home/214817.html
