La organización de este partido amistoso ente el equipo vasco y el equipo mexicano por parte de la comunidad vasca de Boise merece, desde nuestro punto de vista, la mayor de las atenciones. Después de todo los beneficios que generen el evento que, no nos olvidemos, van a ir destinados a la fundación Basque Studies Foundation para financiar becas y programas de estudios vascos en la Universidad Estatal de Boise; y a becas de fútbol para los jóvenes de Idaho proporcionadas por la asociación Idaho Youth Soccer Association.
Recogemos aquí algunas de las informaciones aparecidas en medios de Boise y de México sobre este partido y sobre la transformación del campo del azul al verde, incluida una opción para poder seguir el partido por internet por un razonable coste de 10 USD.
