June 1st will be memorable day for Hudson Sports Complex. We are lining up some of the greatest soccer stars from the past and now. We would like to introduce some of the international stars that will be joining our All Star Game in the second part of the "The Stars Of The Grand Opening" journal.
In 2015/2016 Leicester City Football Club made the impossible possible. Defeating the odds of 5000:1, the team around captain Wes Morgan went on to win the English Premier League. Alongside stars like Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy which have been vital in this great run, scoring goals as they wished, their defensive line with Danny Simpson, Wes Morgan, Robert Huth and Christian Fuchs have been unbreakable. Losing 3 games in 36 they marched on to a memorable and historical Premier League season.
