NEW YORK (Aug. 31, 2015) – The New York Cosmos announced today that the Colombia vs. Mexico Legends Game, originally scheduled as part of a Hispanic Heritage Night doubleheader at Hofstra’s Shuart Stadium on Sept. 22, has been cancelled.

The Cosmos’ game against Fury FC will still proceed as planned with kickoff now scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET.

“Unfortunately, the promoter breached our agreement and the event has been cancelled.” said Cosmos Chief Operating Officer Erik Stover.

The club will fully refund all fans who purchased tickets to the Legends Game. The Sept. 22 game against Ottawa will still feature Hispanic themes and include an autograph signing session with the team’s Latino stars (Andrés Flores, Gastón Cellerino, Walter Restrepo, Samuel Cáceres and Seba Guenzatti) and Hispanic musical performers throughout the evening.
