It aligns with our ethos of being a brand for true enthusiasts. As part of the Mifland Street Soccer series—which began in Lagos, Nigeria—this tournament marks the next stop in our ongoing global journey.”

The watch party will include food trucks and craft vendors, games and a 3 vs. 3 soccer competition. Wear your team colors and represent your favorite squads for a chance at some giveaways and club pride competitions. Whether you want to pregame the match at Mercedes-Benz Stadium or make your way after for lively entertainment and fanfare, the heart of Atlanta will bring good music, great food and an opportunity to connect with fans from across the city. 

“Underground is a cultural hub of Atlanta, especially the Downtown neighborhood,” said Lyle Baldes, Event Manager at Lalani Ventures. “With several FIFA matches coming this year, and more upon us next year, we wanted to produce an authentic Atlanta experience through this watch party to show what’s to come next summer.”
