CHICAGO (Aug. 30, 2021)—U.S. Soccer will host fans in Nashville at the U.S. Soccer Kickoff Party on Sept. 4, the night before the U.S. Men’s National Team takes on Canada in its first home match of World Cup qualifying.
Fans can look forward to music, giveaways, an appearance from USMNT legend DaMarcus Beasley and more on Nashville’s largest rooftop- the Assembly Food Hall's third floor- from 6-8 p.m. Located near the corner of 5th and Broadway, those interested in attending can RSVP for the event here. The first 100 fans to RSVP will be entered into a raffle to win a jersey or match-issued ball.
U.S. Soccer Kickoff Parties will take place before each USMNT home World Cup qualifying match. The event in Nashville will feature live music from Sam McCrary and The Mix plus DJ Flipside spinning tunes. Fans will have a chance to take home match-issued balls, jerseys, koozies and other U.S. Soccer gear through raffles and giveaways.
The Kickoff Party comes as part of U.S. Soccer’s “Countdown to World Cup Qualifying,” which launched this week with the unveiling of the USMNT’s “Only Forward” campaign and announcement of the USA roster for its three September qualifiers. The USMNT kicks off qualifying on Thursday, Sept. 2 at El Salvador (10 p.m. ET; CBS Sports Network, Paramout+, Universo) before taking on Canada at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 5 (FS1, UniMás, TUDN). A number of fan and community-focused events will take place in Music City during the lead-up to USA-Canada.
