The Chelsea-Fair partnership announcement comes just before Chelsea travel to the Bay Area from our preseason training in Los Angeles to take on Mexico's Club America in the Disney Friendship Cup at Stanford Stadium in Stanford, California on July 14. 前美国女足明星罗瑞˙菲尔 (Lorrie Fair) 成为了切尔西足球俱乐部在她祖国的大 使，这再次印证了俱乐部帮助美国足球各方面提高的长期承诺。切尔西和菲尔的合作 关系於切尔西在洛杉矶进行赛季前训练中赴海湾地区之前宣布。切尔西将於7月14日 在加州史丹佛的史丹佛球场与墨西哥美洲俱乐部争夺迪士尼友谊盃。 Fair, who is 28-years-old, said: 'I've been around soccer my whole life. I'm not only a player, but a real fan and Chelsea represents the highest level of soccer on the world's stage. Together we hope to add to the excitement of the game and make an impact on the level and visibility of U.S. soccer. This weekend will be a great chance for Bay Area sports fans to see some of the best soccer players in the world right in their own backyard.' 28岁的菲尔说：“我毕生都围绕着足球。我不仅是一名球员，还是一名真正的球迷， 切尔西代表了世界足球的最高水平。我们希望一起为比赛加入兴奋的因子，并在美国 足球的水平和知名度方面产生影响。本周末将是海湾地区体育迷们在自家後院看到世 界上一些最优秀的足球运动员的一个重要机会。” Fair, a native of the Bay Area where the game is being staged, enjoyed a spectacular career as a member of the U.S. Women's National Team. As a versatile midfielder and defender, Fair was the youngest member of the US team which won the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup against China. In total she made 123 appearances for her country. 菲尔是海湾地区人，比赛将在那里上演。作为美国女子国家队的一名成员，她享受了 的辉煌职业生涯。作为一名全才的中场和後卫，菲尔曾经是1999年获得国际足联女子 世界盃比赛冠军的那支美国队中最年轻的一员。她总共为美国出战123场比赛。 In recognition of her contribution to that victory Fair was named U.S. Soccer's Chevrolet Youth Female Athlete of the Year in 1999. 当年，菲尔被提名为美国足球的雪佛兰年度最佳青年女子运动员奖，以认可她对於那 次胜利做出的贡献。 Chelsea business affairs director Paul Smith said: 'Chelsea are committed to the development and promotion of soccer from the top level to grass roots in the U.S. Women's soccer is a huge part of that. Lorrie transcends both the women's and men's game as a former World Cup winner and U.S. soccer icon. She is the ideal ambassador for Chelsea in America. 切尔西商业主管保罗˙史密斯说：“切尔西致力於全面提升美国的足球发展，而女子 足球是其中重要的一环。作为一名前世界盃冠军成员和美国足球的偶像，罗瑞超越了 所有女子和男子的比赛。他是切尔西在美国的理想大使。” 'Global soccer has gained great momentum in America, and particularly in California, in recent years, which is why we felt it important to bring the Bay Area fans something special this weekend with the Disney Friendship Cup.' “在美国，全球足球获得了重要的动力，特别是最近几年来在加州，这就是为什麽我 们认为本周末迪士尼友谊盃带给海湾地区的球迷一些特别的东西是非常重要的原因。” Fair will act as an ambassador for Chelsea in the club's marketing, community and coaching initiatives in the U.S. 菲尔将成为切尔西在俱乐部在美国市场、社区和教练活动中的一名大使。 Women's soccer accounts for half the total market in the U.S. in terms of participation. The Fair ambassador deal follows last year's announcement of a strategic alliance between Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) and Chelsea. 在参与方面，女子足球成为了女子足球全部市场的半边天。菲尔成为大使是继去年切 尔西与安舒茨娱乐集团 (Anschutz Entertainment Group，AEG) 宣布联盟策略之後 的又一项重要活动。 AEG are the owners of the LA Galaxy, who play Chelsea in the World Series of Soccer on July 21 in David Beckham's debut game. Before then Chelsea take on the Samsung Bluewings on July 17. Both games are at the AEG operated Home Depot Center in Carson City, Los Angeles. AEG是洛杉矶银河俱乐部的所有者，该俱乐部将於7月21日与切尔西进行世界足球系列 赛，本场比赛也将是贝克汉姆的处子秀。之前，切尔西将於7月17日与三星蓝翼进行 比赛。两场比赛都将在AEG旗下的洛杉矶卡森城家得宝中心进行。 This is the fourth consecutive season that Chelsea has toured the U.S. in pre-season. Kick-off for this weekend's nearly sold out match is at 6pm. Last remaining tickets are available at the Stanford Athletics ticket office, by calling 1-866-818-0968 or by visiting Go Stanford. 这是切尔西连续第4个赛季来到美国进行赛季前训练。 -- Carefree, wherever we may be 　 We are the famous CFC！ --
