Detroit City FC to Host Watch Parties for 2022 World Cup

November 17, 2022 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Detroit City FC News Release


DETROIT, Michigan - Starting Sunday, the 2022 World Cup will capture the attention of the entire globe. To mark the largest sporting event in the world, Detroit City FC, Detroit's professional soccer team, will be showing a series of matches at City Clubhouse (3401 E. Lafayette, Detroit, MI), which is inside the Detroit City Fieldhouse. Watch parties will be hosted for most group games of the three-week tournament and all elimination matches, with food and drinks available for purchase.

The highlight of the World Cup events takes place on Friday, November 25, when the United States takes on England. The match will be projected onto a theater-sized screen at the Detroit City Fieldhouse. A $5 donation to Freedom House Detroit is encouraged. Attendees can bring lawn chairs and blankets to watch the match on the turf field, which can accommodate over 500.

At every watch party, DCFC will collect donations to help support the work of Freedom House Detroit. As part of the donation, donors can name their favorite World Cup team. The country that gets the most contributions throughout the tournament will dictate the theme for the World Cup Final watch party at City Clubhouse.

"The World Cup brings the nations of the world together in exciting and memorable ways, but a long and tragic path of human rights abuses got us to this tournament," Sean Mann, CEO of Detroit City FC. "However, most people will forget about the worst aspects of our sport once that first ball is kicked. DCFC strives to foster the passion surrounding our sport while using our platform to support those doing good in our community. It's always been an honor to work with Freedom House Detroit, and we look forward to using this opportunity to support their efforts to aid asylum seekers looking to start a new life in our community."
