Frank Lopez San Francisco, Calif. I read in one of your past publications (I’m a subscriber) about a soccer tournament in Las Vegas that is part of the World Club Championship playoffs. I would like to find out more so that I might attend and I cannot find anything about it anywhere. Mike Woitalla: The 1999 CONCACAF Champions Cup takes place Sept. 28-Oct. 3 at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas. Tickets are available at Thomas & Mack Center Ticket Office in Las Vegas, 1-888-464-2468 and online at www.Tickets.com. The winner will represent the CONCACAF in the FIFA Club World Championship in Brazil in January 2000. MLS’s D.C. United is the defending CONCACAF champion, having defeated Mexican champion Toluca in last year’s final. That victory earned D.C. United a place in the InterAmerican Cup, which it won, 2-1 on aggregate, over Brazil’s Vasco da Gama. Soccer America Magazine will be previewing this year’s CONCACAF Champions Cup in its upcoming issue (Sept. 27).
