Soriy.jNOPJSS! , Men's soccer team to play in Oneonta By BILL FRANCIS Sports Etiitor ONEONTA - Area soccer fans will get an opportunity to see two world class teams up close and per sonal a mere three weeks before they begin battling for a gold medal in the 1996 Summer Olympics. The United States Soccer Federation announced on Tuesday ttte staging of an exhibition match between the Olympic (Under-23) men's teams o f the United States and Saudi Arabia on Sunday. June 30, in Oneonta. The contest, which is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. on Haitwick College’s Elmore Reid, is being held to celebrate the National Soccer Hall of Fame's Induction Ceremonies later that evening. The U.S. will play its first Olympic match on July 20 against powerful Argentina, while Saudi Arabia also debuts on July 20 widt their first round match against Spain. The ri^ent announcement pro vides another opportunity for locd fans whose enthusiasm was demon- snated last July when the U.S.S.F. brought Under-23 teams to Oneonta for the first dme. That 1995 match, where the U.S. defeated Chile by a score of 2-1. sold out in advmice and was played before a tecoid- crowd o f 4 j6 S a t @maie E^ld. “The Hall o f Fame’s mission is to promote somier’shedtage and this induction niaich is o ^ e a t way to do just that.” said Hali of Fame Executive Director Albert Colone. “Just to be able to have another anchor event Elm this raises die public’s awareness o f no| only the National Soccer Hall o f E ^ e . but also this year's inductees into the Hall of Fame. We’re just looking to have another real spectacular event like last year.” The president of the college where the match will be held had high praise for the event. “Hartwick’s reputation in soccer is well known and we are delighted to welcome such prestigious inter national teams to our campus. This pre-Olympic match is a real coup for the Hall of Fame, Harlwick College and the Oneonta area,” said Hartwick College President Rickard A. Detweiler. Oneonta State Men’s Soccer Coach Rob Russo spoke of the expectations of area soccer fans. “What a tremendous plus for upstate New York soccer fans, and for upstate New York in general. Let’s face it, most of us aren't going to the Olympics,” Russo said. According to Colore, die match almost didn’t come off due to some scheduling conflicts, but the U.S.S.F. eventually came through. “The oii^nal date approved for die match was June 16. figuring an abundance of teams would be available five weeks before the start of the Olympics. It became more difficult wtdi the Olympic oot late-astd t ^ n ts not wmatiEig to commit to a possibto Oiymph: opponent,” Colone said. ”1he United States Soccer Federatioii stuck with us and found a team for us ... diey really worked to m ^ e this haj^en.
