"Fans who visit FanaticosDelFrio.com can experience the virtual Quiniela, elevating their experience of making predictions and pairing it with the chance to win great prizes, "said Cris Rivera, Coors Light Hispanic marketing manager. "Fans will also have the opportunity to score the ultimate goal of winning a trip to the finals in Mexico along with other prizes while doing what they do best, living their passion for the greatest sport on earth."

Coors Light brings fans even closer to the soccer field by giving them an edge when making their predictions through the Coors Light FMF 2012 Apertura Season program guide, available in participating stores, which contains information about the FMF's LigaMX teams, coaches and players. Coors Light/LigaMX promotional packaging at local stores will remind fans that their strongest passion, soccer, can help them win great prizes.

In 2010, Coors Light became the first non-Mexican beer brand to sponsor the intensely-followed league. For more information on the FMF's LigaMX, visit www.FanaticosDelFrio.com.
