The days Friday the 6th and Saturday the 7th of December 2013, the First National tournament 5 Davino took place.

Miguel Herrera speaks as it is: the future trainer of the National Team in the World Cup. And although he keeps a restraint in the game against New Zealand, it is also clear to him that it is necessary to start thinking of the future decisions and one of them is the group of players to be chosen.

Even Carlos Vela, the controverted football player of the Real Sociedad, can have a place with the green shirts, unless he doesn't reconsider.

"We are very conscious that the nine Mexican players in Europe are good, 10 with Nery (Castillo), who is a big player and even Vela if the boy's head only changed all of the sudden. They are important, you cannot leave them out just because you feel like it. They have realized that there is a good competition with the players of Mexico and this competition helps the team grow".

Herrera explained that the 23 that are there know that nothing guarantees that they will go to the World Cup and this is clear to them:

"No, it wouldn't be fair, but I told them since before this new process began, I told all of them, that they, the 23, together with the technical body, brought us to achieve an objective, which is to classify to the World Cup in two games, and nobody can guarantee us that we will be in the World Cup, they know it. If they keep their level they will be there, surely the majority has an opportunity, but these 23, the only thing that they have guaranteed is the possibility to fight for the ticket to the Word Cup".

The Mexican trainer said that he trusted that his team will win, for this they have prepared and they have the full intention to launch their players to attack from the beginning of the game, no speculation.

Herrera spoke during the previous press conference about the recognition of the field by Mexico.

The football raises passions among Jaliscans

GUADALAJARA - An ancestral stadium. Twice a world cup stadium and a place of unforgettable football battles, where the great passed through its court and which now houses the Atlas and the ascending Leones Negros of the University of Guadalajara in the First Division, as the popular Chivas Rayadas of Guadalajara emigrated to their own stadium. The Omnilife and the Oro disappeared years ago.

Also this Colossus of the Calzada Independencia was the scene of the Jalisco team with the blue and gold uniform that brings to mind a thousand memories and that for this reason it is part of the series THE CAPITALS OF FOOTBALL ON ESPN.

A court of Jalisco where Brazil weaved the magic that led to definitively conquer the Jules Rimet Cup of Mexico 1970, and that made the Brazilian and Mexican brotherhood possible, lasting into eternity.

It was on this court where Pelé surprised the midfielder Czech Viktor passing the ball just over his head. It was in this setting that Pelé masterfully put down a ball and served to Jairzinho to undermine Gordon Banks. In 1986 it was the site of a dramatic penalty series between France and Brazil, where Zico and Platini had opposite destinies in their definition and where Bamberg from Asutralia didn't make a legitimate goal on Michel from Spain, because it bounced off the goal line.

The Jalisco lived in its guts the great epochs of the Chivas of Guadalajara.

Way back in 1954 and because of the scandals that arose in connection with the purchase of tickets to the Classic Atlas vs. Guadalajara, Mr. Alberto Alvo, then leader of the Atlas Club, devised the construction of a Stadium with more room and which could be owned by the Club, for this he offered to look for ways of financing the work.

With its creation, the firm United Clubs of Jalisco which encompassed Guadalajara, Atlas and Oro, occupied the property. The opening game was on January 31, 1960 and was conducted between the Argentinian team San Lorenzo de Almagro and the Atlas of Guadalajara.

The first player to step on the court was Alfredo Torres and the first goal was of Norberto Boggio, the player of El ciclón. Fifty thousand spectators attended, whose entry box office gains made about 465 thousand pesos.

In their sacred turf, besides the World Cups, the Olympic games of Mexico 68 were played. It received Pope John Paul II in 1979 and hosted the Confederations of 99.

On Wednesday, May 6, 1970 the grand opening of the expansion works of the monumental stadium of Jalisco was held, which primarily included the construction of the top of the building, giving it the ability to accommodate 65 thousand people.

Thus, one of the main venues of the 1970 World Cup was fully ready. The inaugural event started at 6:45 pm with the match between the Oro team and the University, for the championship of the National League.

At 8:45 pm the main game was held between the teams of Brazil and Guadalajara.

It has also hosted musical shows, standing out the concerts of Earth, Wind and Fire, Quiet Riot, Rod Stewart, Sting, Guns and Roses, Juan Gabriel, as well as Vicente and Alejandro Fernandez

Spectacular reception of Mexico's team in New Zealand (video)

The National Team arrived Saturday at Wellington where it was greeted by a Maori dance group that performed the Haka in honor of the Mexicans

Mexico's team was received with the Haka dance

Mexico had a spectacular welcome in Wellington, as the ambassador in this country, Leonora Rueda, brought to the airport terminal a traditional Maori dance group that received them dancing the famous Haka.

The players, with Miguel Herrera and Héctor González Iñárritu, were surprised by the welcoming performance, something that no Mexican soccer team has had in recent times.

After the exhibition, the group leader asked the Mexicans to correspond with a traditional Mexican song, to which the group responded by singing the Cielito Lindo, which caused the people at the terminal, at the time only dedicated to Mexicans, to get excited.

The group, which arrived almost at midnight of the local time of this Saturday, lived a unique experience, after a heavy trip of nearly four hours from Sydney.

The big winners were local fishermen from Nayarit: Óscar Escobedo from San Pedro Lagunillas came in first place; Javier Vergara from Tepic took second and Julio Parra, also from Tepic, placed in third.

Local Nayarit fishermen won the day during the 5th Annual “Lo de Marcos” Surf Fishing Tournament. Attendance soared from last year’s 41 fishermen to this year’s 66, as expected by the Tepic Surf Fishing Club.

The Riviera Nayarit Convention and Visitors Bureau was instrumental in increasing the number of participants, thanks to their continuous promotion of the events that place this destination on par with the top sport fishing hotspots from around the world.

“I'd like to thank all the participants for a job well done and extend a special thanks to the Riviera Nayarit CVB for their support in promoting these great sport fishing events in our state,” said club president Mario Alberto Real.

Governor Roberto Sandoval’s State Government is focused on lending its support by developing this type of tourism activities in greater scale.

All in all, it was a fun family weekend at Lo de Marcos beach, where the locals gave their special guests a very warm welcome.

First place went to Óscar Escobedo from San Pedro Lagunillas, who caught a 2.5 kg sea bass. Second went to Javier Vergara and his 1.8 kg sea bass; Julio Parra placed third with his giant hawkfish, which was released according to the “catch and release” guidelines. Both men hail from Tepic.

The winners took home cash prizes as well as items in kind, including as lures, rods, reels, t-shirts and fishing kits.

Special mention goes to the women who participated in this year’s Tournament: Celene Ocegueda from Las Varas, Reyna Chávez of Colima and Chantal Contreras from the capital of Nayarit.

There were also a few surprises, including the participation of young Yusself Tapia of Tepic, who at the tender age of 7 already competes in major regional tournaments. This is just one more example of how the local population of Nayarit is making the most of the many natural resources that Mexico’s Pacific Treasure has to offer.

Levy is the only man to travel down the more than 7,100 miles of Mexican coastline in a kayak. His new challenge is to paddle his way—alone—across the Atlantic from Spain to Mexico.

Abraham Levy is a self-propelled explorer, that is to say, his expeditions don’t depend on a sail, the wind, or any motor whatsoever. He’s currently training at the Marina Riviera Nayarit, taking advantage of the bay’s geography, the gamut of places he can visit during his preparation and the support he’s receiving from local authorities.

This Mexican explorer has been the only man to travel the more than 7,100 miles of Mexico’s coastline solo aboard a kayak in 2007 – 2008. His new challenge: to paddle solo across the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea from Puerto de Palos in Huelva, Spain, all the way to Cancun. In order to perform this feat, Levy will travel aboard a transoceanic rowboat named “La Cascarita”.

“My first test with the boat and all its equipment perfectly installed will be when I leave the Marina at Puerto Los Cabos and arrive at Marina Rivera Nayarit,” said Levy. “It will take some 6 to 10 days to complete the over 370-mile journey. This is the trial by fire before I send the boat to Spain in order to start my voyage”.

Levy began his trek from Los Cabos to the Riviera Nayarit this past October 25th; he’s expected to arrive at the Marina Riviera Nayarit on or around October 31st. The Riviera Nayarit Convention and Visitors Bureau would like to invite the media to stay tuned for a confirmation of his arrival date (via this medium), at which time they will hold a press conference.

His major voyage across the Atlantic will begin on January 9, 2014, and will last approximately four to six months. He’s expected to arrive back to the Marina sometime in June.

Levy has been in Banderas Bay and the Marina Riviera Nayarit for the past three months, where he has been fully supported, which was key to his decision to train here. Said support, offered by the People’s Government headed by Roberto Sandoval, has always been present in all the activities that promote the destination as an ideal spot for water sports.

“I like Banderas Bay very much. Its geography is great and I have several good friends here who are very knowledgeable about the ocean,” said the Mexican athlete. “Many sailors from around the world meet here, plus the shape of the bay helps me during my test runs”.

He added that it offers all the different water conditions he needs to work with, including being perfectly sheltered. It also offers many places to visit during his training such as Punta de Mita and the Marietas Islands, plus other great “excuses” for a little sailing.

“The Mexican Pacific is the big leagues in sailing here in Mexico,” said the 33-year-old Colima native. “This is a top spot and that’s also why I chose to make the crossing from San José del Cabo back here. The formation of the Baja California peninsula, the entire Sea of Cortez and the Banderas Bay are ideal places to execute this crossing”.

The tournament will take place October 26-27, 2013, in Riviera Nayarit with the participation of fishermen from Nayarit, Jalisco and Colima.

The Tepic Surf Fishing Club and the People’s Government, headed by Roberto Sandoval Castañeda, extend an invitation to sport fishing aficionados and to the general public to participate in the 5th Annual Playa Lo de Marcos Surf Fishing Tournament. 

This October 11, the very much awaited event, Fly Board Exhibition in Santa Maria del Oro Nayarit was carried out near Puerto Vallarta, where the guests, who came from different places of the republic and from abroad, enjoyed the practice of this amazing sport in this beautiful lagoon that is ideal for water sports.

• The Half Marathon will be advertised in Mexico City, Monterrey, Culiacán, Guadalajara, Aguascalientes and León, among other cities, after the signing of a collaboration agreement with 11 of the most important Marathons and Half Marathons of Mexico.

• The race will take place on November 23, 2013, along one of the most beautiful routes in the world.

The Riviera Nayarit Half Marathon will be widely publicized on a national and international level thanks to the organizers signing a collaborative agreement last August with 11 other races in order to co-advertise, cross promote and exchange knowledge, experience and information.   
 
As part of this agreement the race will be advertised in Mexico City, Monterrey, Culiacán, Guadalajara, Aguascalientes and León, among many other cities. The idea is to increase the number of participants year-over-year that visit this destination and participate in the race. This year the race will take place on November 23rd.
 
Since the creation of the Riviera Nayarit brand five years ago, one of the industry’s priorities has been to attract high-quality tourism that poses a low environmental impact. Beyond simple marketing, however, this is also a strategy to achieve a comprehensive development of the community, one that will boost both economic indicators and the welfare of the society as a whole. High-impact performance sports are a key niche to achieve this goal.
 
The forward momentum achieved by the Riviera Nayarit through activities such as the Touristic Half Marathon, promoted by the Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB), serves not only to attract tourists, but it also gives the destination exposure in media that specializes in covering these types of events.
 
An invitation has been sent out to all the runners in Mexico and across the world to participate in this Fourth Edition of the Riviera Nayarit Touristic Half Marathon, endorsed by the Mexican Athletic Federation and the Nayarit State Athletic Association, and recognized by the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS).
