Minnesota United today announced the Minnesota United Soccer Celebration, a 10-day fan-zone experience designed to be the Twin Cities\u2019 premier soccer destination for sports fans across Minnesota during this summer\u2019s quadrennial soccer tournament.<\/p>\n
\u201cMinnesota United is proud to bring the Minnesota United Soccer Celebration to downtown Minneapolis this summer as an opportunity to showcase the very best elements of our state \u2014 community, culture, and connection,\u201d said MNUFC Chief Executive Officer Shari Ballard. \u201cSoccer has this unique ability to unite people across backgrounds and experiences, and we are grateful to our partners for helping elevate this event into a true showcase of Minnesota and the passion surrounding the beautiful game. We look forward to welcoming fans from across Minnesota and beyond to celebrate, connect, and create an unforgettable atmosphere together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Located adjacent to Brit\u2019s Pub at Peavey Plaza in downtown Minneapolis off Nicollet Mall, the Minnesota United Soccer Celebration will complement the matchday atmosphere fans already know and love, featuring a variety of local food carts and vendors, live DJs, \u00adMNUFC special guests, sweepstakes and giveaways, and activities for fans of all ages. On select dates from June 11-27, fans can enjoy live viewings of select FIFA World Cup 2026TM matches on an outdoor jumbo screen throughout the global tournament.<\/p>\n
“Brit’s Pub has been Minneapolis’ home for soccer for over 30 years, and we are tremendously excited for the world’s biggest tournament to be held in North America this summer. Having the Soccer Celebration right on our doorstep will be an amazing experience \u2014 there is no better place in the country to feel the pulse of the global tournament than right here on Nicollet Mall, surrounded by fans from every corner of the world,” said Brit’s Pub General Manager Shane Higgins. “For three decades we’ve been the gathering place for fans who live and breathe this sport, and this summer’s tournament seems like a culmination of everything we stand for. We are honored to be part of this celebration and can’t wait to welcome the world to our front door.”<\/p>\n
