Austin FC is inviting fans across Central Texas to come together and celebrate the world's biggest soccer tournament with a series of free watch parties and events throughout the summer. The club announced plans to transform Austin into a citywide World Cup destination, beginning this week with free public viewing events at Auditorium Shores for four opening tournament matches. The watch parties will feature some of the tournament's most anticipated games, including matches involving the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The celebration will continue on June 13 with the launch of Casa Verde at Inn Cahoots in East Austin. Austin FC says the venue will serve as a dedicated soccer hub for the duration of the tournament, giving fans a place to gather and watch every match from the group stage through the championship game. The 37-day activation will run through the World Cup Final on July 19 and will include free match viewings, special events, and fan-focused programming throughout the tournament. Austin FC says Casa Verde is designed to bring together soccer supporters from across the city while creating a shared space to celebrate the sport and the international competition. All watch parties and match viewings are free to attend.
