Soccer Celebration

Calling all Loons fans, international soccer fans, anyone who’s ever even seen a soccer ball! It’s the summer of soccer in North America, with the FIFA World Cup 2026™ taking the global soccer sphere to our shores starting in June. We’re bringing all the excitement directly to you with Minnesota United Soccer Celebration, an epic fan experience in downtown Minneapolis spanning Peavey Plaza and Nicollet Mall, right next to Brit’s Pub between S 11th and S 12th Street! We'll have matches on the big screen, guest appearances, delicious food and beverage, a live DJ, and a whole lot more.

It’s the biggest tournament in global soccer, and we’re hosting the coolest Soccer Celebration around.

Soccer Celebration is FREE, but you do need to claim tickets through SeatGeek for each date you plan to attend. Please note that there is a maximum capacity for this space, and entry will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis. We recommend arriving early to guarantee your entry into Soccer Celebration, particularly for some of the more popular dates.

Minnesota United is proud to be working with Centro Tyrone Guzman as the official nonprofit and community partner for Soccer Celebration. For more than 50 years, Centro Tyrone Guzman has served as a trusted cultural home and community anchor for Minnesota’s Latine community. Based in Minneapolis, Centro brings children, youth, families, and elders together through an intergenerational model rooted in education, wellness, cultural connection, and belonging. 

“Centro Tyrone Guzman is honored to partner with Minnesota United FC to help ensure the Soccer Celebration reflects the culture, energy and community spirit that make the Latine communities that we serve and all of Minnesota’s multi-cultural communities so vibrant,” said Centro Tyrone Guzman Executive Director Xavier Vazquez. "This partnership is about more than an event. It is about creating spaces where families, culture and community connection are truly centered and celebrated.”
