PORTLAND, Ore. – This past Labor Day, a group of over 150 kids were able to finish off their summer with a special, new soccer experience at Providence Park. Special, in part, because it was led by two MLS Cup-winning Portland Timbers legends in Diego Valeri and Diego Chara.
Dubbed “Dos Diegos Soccer Academy,” Valeri and Chara took some time from their busy MLS 2018 season to work with Portland kids on the pitch at the stadium. When asked about the academy after their own training session later in the week as the team prepared to face the Colorado Rapids on Saturday (7:30pm PT, FOX 12 PLUS), the pair of Diegos were buzzing from the fun afternoon.
