Event Details

Get ready to celebrate the beautiful game as excitement builds for World Cup 2026 at City Center on May 17 from 2-4 PM! Come join us to honor homegrown talent featured on banners on the exterior of City Center, professional players who got their start right here in the Tri-Valley.

Enjoy a Q&A with Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquakes and U.S. Men’s National Team), meet members of the Founding Four of Bay FC women’s soccer club, snap photos at selfie stations, and take part in dribbling contests on the City Center lawn (NO CLEATS, please!)

Connect with players, hear their journeys, and celebrate the diversity, energy, and community spirit that define the game on the road to 2026.
