Border-region Mexican and U.S. football teams will play a tournament to protest the wall U.S. President Donald Trump plans to build along the two countries' shared border, local media reported on Tuesday.
Mexican sports daily Medio Tiempo said on its website that no date has yet been set for the aptly-named 'The Bridge Tournament,' but adds that "the invitations have already been sent out" to the participating teams.
The event will pit three teams from each country, including Tamaulipas Autonomous University (UAT) team Correcaminos, Tampico Madero FC and Reynosa FC from Mexico, against U.S sides Houston Dynamo, FC Dallas and Rio Grande Valley FC Toros.
In a tweet announcing the tournament, Mexican club Correcaminos, which is organizing the event, called for "football above walls."
