Save the date as the popular Lehigh Valley SoccerFest & Viewing Party returns to SteelStacks™ in Bethlehem to celebrate the 2026 FIFA World Cup!
SoccerFest 2026: Watch parties will show each match of the FIFA World Cup 26™ on a jumbo screen on the lawn of the Levitt or PNC Pavilions.
Lehigh Valley United will host several youth clinics and youth 3-on-3 tournaments as part of the festivities. Parking is free but limited; attendees are encouraged to arrive early.
Fans can purchase an official Panini FIFA World Cup 26™ Sticker Album, available now at the Visitor Center and ArtsQuest Center Box Office while supplies last (we recommend picking one up before the tournament starts). A longtime tradition for soccer fans around the world, it's all about collecting and trading player stickers to build your collection. Soccer Post will also be on-site June 12, 13, 14, 19, 20, 25, 27, and July 4, 11, 19, selling sticker packs, so collectors can grow their albums and trade with fellow fans at SoccerFest.
The Lehigh Valley SoccerFest and Viewing Party will take place at SteelStacks campus, part of a revitalized 1,800-acre industrial brownfield that was once the home of Bethlehem Steel. Did you know it was also home to one of the most successful and decorated soccer teams in U.S. history?
With the backing of the Bethlehem Steel company, the Bethlehem Steel Football Club was arguably the most successful and decorated team in US soccer history. In 1914, the team went professional as Bethlehem FC. In 1919, Bethlehem Steel FC became the first American professional team to play in Europe when they toured Sweden.
