See. Do."},"content":{"rendered":"

Long Beach, in collaboration with LA Galaxy, will host a series of free watch parties in downtown Long Beach for the early stages of the FIFA World Cup this summer.<\/p>\n

Starting June 12, the city will begin holding live match viewings along with various events that will include two free soccer clinics at Lincoln Park, giveaways, limited-edition merchandise offerings and appearances by current and former Galaxy players along with soccer clinics.<\/p>\n

An event map is still being finalized, but the games will be shown on a big screen set up along Pine Avenue, said city spokesperson Laath Martin.<\/p>\n

LA Galaxy will host free soccer clinics at Lincoln Park on June 12 and June 19 for children aged 6 to 14. You can find more information and register for the clinics here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Traffic on Pine Avenue will be closed between Broadway and Third Street from June 12-27, while Broadway between Pine and Pacific avenues will be shut down only on the seven event days.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Long Beach will not have an official FIFA Fan Zone because the city withdrew its bid following a series of talks with organizers.<\/a> That means the city\u2019s events this June will not feature FIFA\u2019s logo or the term \u201cWorld Cup Fan Zone.\u201d<\/p>\n

They will be able to show live games through the partnership with Major League Soccer\u2019s LA Galaxy.<\/p>\n
