The 2009 Region I Open Cup Champs Emigrantes Das Ilhas will travel to New York State this weekend April 11, to take on Brooklyn Italians on the first round of US Open Cup. By qualifying last season, Emigrantes Das Ilhas is the first Cape Verdean team to ever qualify to the Lomar Hunt US Open Cup, and they automatically qualify for this years’ competition. Emigrantes were two games away last year to face off against New England Revolution, but they had an early release from the competition when they loss 3-2 to Western Mass Pioneers in the first round of Lumar Hunt US Open Cup. They loss their coach/player Ze Jorge to Mindelo that help them tremendously last year but, Emigrantes front office has been working hard during this off season to get the team ready for this year’s Open Cup and NELASA season. They have signed Coach Topa to replace Ze Jorge and they have signed one of NELASA best player Ernesto Lopes ex Dinamo Da Brava med-fielder whom has sign with Emigrantes for the 2010 season campaign, and he could be that extra kick that they need to make it farther in the competition. Ernesto has also brought with him to Emigrates Zico and Miguel whom they have played for more than five years together as members of Dinamo. Emigrantes looked in good shape this past weekend when they won their second Annual Tournament, by defeating current NELASA Champs Clube Tabanka 5-0 in the first game and Fidjos Terra 3-0 in the second game. The team looks to be ready to go and we wish them luck in this year’s US Open Cup Tournament.
