Greenville, S.C. – The Paladin men's soccer team will kick off Furman's United FU World Tour on Sunday when it hosts Virginia Tech in the second half of a men's and women's soccer doubleheader on Seagraves Field at Stone Soccer Stadium.
 
Kickoff for Sunday's match is slated for approximately 4:15 p.m., following the women's team's 2 p.m. contest versus USC Upstate, and admission is free. The Furman community is encouraged to represent their country of origin with jerseys, flags, and other apparel. 
 
International student organizations from the Student Diversity Council (SDC) will be setup at the match and the first 50 Furman students who represent their country at the game will receive a BOGO coupon from Holy Molli. The first 150 students in the gate will receive a "United FU" World Tour t-shirt and the first 50 can pick up a free food truck voucher. The United FU campaign is intended to highlight Furman's diverse international student community and Sunday's opening event of the campaign was coordinated by Furman athletics and the SDC.
