The Soccer Post in Huntingdon Valley (previously known as Angelo’s Soccer Corner) has enjoyed the spoils from the Philadelphia Union’s Major League Soccer semifinal matchup against global icon Lionel Messi and Inter Miami.

The game, which took place Tuesday, August 15 at Subaru Park in Philadelphia, saw Inter Miami take out the Union 4-1. Messi scored a goal—his ninth in six games—during the first half.

The Soccer Post was featured in an article by CBS News titled “Businesses in Philadelphia region cashing in on Messi mania” which wrote that the “location has experienced an increase in inquiries and business.”

“We’ve gotten a lot more requests for Miami, Argentina and Messi gear in general,” Soccer Post manager Aiden Bobst said. “We’ve been able to bring some product to help out with that. It has definitely bolstered some sales. Yesterday we definitely saw the pickup in store, in terms of people asking for Miami, Argentina, of course, the Union too. People are going there with their jerseys to support the team as well.”

The sporting goods store has been around since 1998.

“It’s definitely a lot of excitement, I think, for the game tomorrow. It’s created a huge atmosphere in terms of what it can bring towards the Union team as well,” Bobst said.
