The inaugural match will be free of charge and will be broadcast via Internet".

"We are very excited to play in this great sport facility," said Carlos Aponte, Capitals General Manager. "We hope that the Capitals can improve the level of the Puerto Rican women's national team in the same way that the Islanders have helped the men's program," add Aponte. "This project is very important to our goal to win a medal in the Central American and Caribbean Games when they come to Puerto Rico in 2010".

The Capitals will return to play again in Ponce, when they host Miami Kickers on Saturday, June 27th and Florida Surge on Saturday, July 11th.
