Have you always wanted
to walk in a soccer legend’s
shoes?
Queensboro FC, the new
professional soccer team that
will begin playing their home
games in the borough next
year, is holding a sweepstakes
for one lucky participant to
win a pair of boots signed by
QBFC founding partner David
Villa, one of Spain’s most accomplished
soccer stars and
the national team’s top scorer
with 59 goals.
Villa, who will return to
New York City on Jan. 29,
spoke of his love for Queens
when the team announced last
fall that it would play at York
College in Jamaica, with a
few games at Citi Field. Villa
played with the New York City
Football Club, which played its
games at Yankee Stadium.
“I lived and played in New
York for four years. I know
what a special place Queens
is,” Villa said. “I love the cultures,
the food, the people and
their passion for life, and of
course, soccer. There is no
other place like it in the world.
It’s a dream to help build this
football club in Queens, and I
couldn’t choose a better location.”
The club plans to operate
a youth academy with which
Villa will work closely. QBFC
is also looking to build its foundation
with local talent and
partner with local businesses
and officials to promote the
diverse culture and identity of
the borough.
Villa will personally give
the boots to the winner at a fan
event on Feb. 5. Queensboro
FC’s ownership group is led
by asset manager Jonathan
Krane, founder and CEO of
KraneShares.
“With only a few weeks
left to go, we hope all soccer
fans in Queens will enter for
the chance to win this pair
of boots signed by World Cup
winner David Villa,” Krane
said. “We are excited to continue
growing our fan base here
in Queens, and to bring the
world’s game to the ‘World’s
Borough.’”
Villa’s career highlights include
a Champions League title
with F.C. Barcelona in 2011,
contributions to the Spanish
team that won Eurocopa 2008,
and the World Cup in 2010, the
first in the nation’s history.
