North End Meet & Eat + US Soccer!

The #USMNT has qualified for the World Cup in Qatar, while the #USWNT are readying themselves for WC and Olympic qualification in July.

There’s a lot to discuss! Join AO Boston in the North End at Ducali Pizzeria & Bar! Meet fellow AO Boston members, grab a slice of pizza, and a cold drink, and enjoy the Sunday afternoon. RSVP here.

This will coincide with the Juventus vs Venezia match on May 1st at 1:30pm that will hopefully feature a couple of Americans.

See you there!

Calling all Volunteers!

On Saturday, June 18th we are asking AO Boston members to step up and help Boston Score’s largest fundraising initiative of the year; the SCORES CUP! 

Scores Cup is the largest corporate charity soccer tournament in the United States, bringing together 40 teams and 600 players from all over New England for the love of soccer, and supporting an amazing cause. All money raised will benefit after-school programming for Boston youth. 

The volunteer positions needed are: set-up, registration, team support, field support, and breakdown.

  • 7:00am start time for set-up volunteers
  • 8:00am – 12:30pm for morning tournament volunteers
  • 12:00pm – 5:00pm for afternoon tournament volunteers
  • 3:30pm start time for breakdown volunteers (all volunteers who stay for breakdown will be able to attend the Revs II game at 7:00pm)

There are still more details to come, but if you are interested please email Chris Reid!

Parlor Sports, the new home of AO Boston #USWNT Watch Parties

Big news out of AO Boston Headquarters this week, as we have officially inked a deal with Parlor Sports in Somerville to host all #USWNT watch parties moving forward! The partnership will begin with the two upcoming friendlies vs Uzbekistan on Saturday, and Tuesday, and will continue into the Summer for the W Championship. This summer is huge for the US Women’s National Team as they hope to qualify for the 2023 World Cup and the 2024 Olympics. Join us for the upcoming matches:

Saturday 4/9 at 5:30pm
Tuesday 4/12 at 7pm

When the Women’s World Cup comes around in 2023 AO Boston will have watch parties at both Parlor Sports and the Banshee Pub!

USMNT = QUALIFIED

The #USMNT has qualified for the 2022 World Cup. The group stage is set. Life is good, and the countdown to November has begun. We’ll be rocking the Banshee Pub as we did in 2010 and 2014.  Are you ready?!

AO Boston certainly will be. In the next few weeks, we hope to hold a World Cup 2022 planning session.  Where we hope to discuss the introduction of some new merch for all, maybe a new logo, and more!  If you have any merch or design ideas, please send them our way at email@aoboston.us

In the meantime, make sure to pick up an AO Boston or AO New England scarf before they officially sell out!

CONCACAF Nations League = LOVE

It’s official. We are obsessed with the CONCACAF Nations League. The #USMNT has drawn El Salvador and Grenada. The tournament will be taking place throughout this year, and next. 

The USMNT will host Grenada on June 10th, and then visit El Salvador on June 14th. The squad will also play two home friendlies before the Nation League matches. Venues TBD.

Make sure to jump on the bandwagon of the greatest tournament this world has ever seen!
