ADVISORY/Steve Sampson, Former Head Coach for U.S. National Soccer Team, Joins United Nations Soccer League and Tide Detergent for 2nd Annual `Tide Cup' Soccer Play-Offs at the Rose Bowl, June 29-30.


Business/Lifestyle/Sports Editors & Soccer Writers/Columnists

ADVISORY...for Saturday-Sunday (June June: see month.  29-30)

           5,000 Youngsters Gather to Compete and Test Their
            Soccer Skills in Major Championship Tournament
              in the Name of Healthier, Safer Communities

WHAT:    Since April 27, more than 20,000 kids have been competing for
         the Mundialito Tide 2002 Championship. The event is organized
         by The United Nations Soccer League and Tide(R), a leading
         detergent among Hispanics in the U.S. Children and their
         parents from California, Nevada -- and even as far as Tijuana
         and Armenia -- unite to be one of final teams to play in the
         July 4th championship and to celebrate the League's success
         in keeping kids off the streets.

WHY:     The League is credited with steering children away from gangs
         and into clean, wholesome activities like soccer by ridding
         local parks of loiterers and drug dealers, and empowering
         low-income Latinos to reclaim parks for their communities.
         These soccer championships symbolize the success of La Liga's
         approach to "community clean up." Tide, known for its stain
         removal and cleaning power, as well as its long-standing
         support for soccer, is the League's largest corporate
         donor. Tide's monetary contributions have quadrupled since
         last year, enabling the "Tide Cup" to expand from one
         championship tournament to four, with the top eleven teams
         from each tournament advancing to the finals.

WHO:     --   Steve Sampson, Former Head Coach, U.S. National Soccer
              Team
         --   Jose Roy Garcia, founder of the United Nations Soccer
              League
