Tomorrow is gigantic for the #USMNT. This is potentially the most watched soccer match in US history.

If you’re coming into the city, please plan accordingly. Many AO Boston watch parties will reach capacity well before kickoff. Many people are aiming for an 11am arrival.

We’ll be getting loud at The Banshee in Dorchester, The Dubliner at Government Center, and Parlor Sports in Somerville!

Our co-hosted watch party with We Got Soccer at House of Blues is already sold out at 2,500 reservations. It does not get bigger than this!

Enjoy the moment and stay safe.

  • 7:00am start time for set-up volunteers
  • 8:00am – 12:30pm for morning tournament volunteers
