As excitement builds for the world soccer tournament semifinals on July 14, the City of Chula Vista is inviting residents to learn more about the world’s game through a free book reading with San Diego author Luz Aramburo. Aramburo will read from and discuss her book, An Illustrated Guide to Loving a Soccer Fan: A Lighthearted Playbook to Connect with the World’s Most Serious Obsession. The event is designed for anyone living with, dating or loving a soccer fan and offers a fun introduction to the sport, its culture and the connections it can create.

The event takes place during the Otay Ranch Certified Farmers Market and concludes shortly before that evening’s tournament match, giving residents an opportunity to enjoy the market, meet a local author and learn more about the world’s game before joining friends and family to watch. Perfect for newcomers to the sport, the event offers a fun way to join the tournament conversation before heading out to watch that evening’s match.
