The participating teams will train daily at Soccer International in Schertz, Texas and will compete amongst one another in double-header exhibition matches at Steele Stadium in Cibolo, Texas.
The Texas Pro Soccer Festival also features a celebrity game, played during the day between the 2nd and 3rd matchdays. The celebrities slated to appear include Ethan Zohn and Jenna Morasca of Survivor fame, as well as Anthony LaPaglia and Eric Wynalda[2].
