Memphis Redbirds to Host Free USA‑Belgium Soccer Watch Party
The Memphis Redbirds are turning AutoZone Park into a lively gathering spot for fans eager to catch the U.S. men's national team take on Belgium in an international friendly. The event, which is open to the public at no charge, promises a festive atmosphere with food, drinks and a chance to cheer on the Stars and Stripes.
Doors will swing open at 6 p.m., giving supporters plenty of time to claim a spot before kickoff at 7 p.m. While the match itself is the main draw, the park will also feature a menu of snacks and beverages, with draft beer available for just $5, making it an affordable outing for families and friends.
A Rivalry Renewed
The upcoming clash carries extra significance because Belgium eliminated the United States in the round of 16 of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, a match that still resonates with American fans. That history adds a layer of anticipation to the friendly, as the U.S. looks to avenge the earlier defeat and test its progress against a Belgian side that has remained a powerhouse in world football.
Local organizers say the watch party is part of a broader effort to bring international soccer culture to Memphis, highlighting the city’s growing sports scene and offering a community‑focused experience that goes beyond the stadium walls.
Fans interested in attending can simply show up at AutoZone Park on the scheduled evening. With free entry, affordable refreshments and a chance to be part of a historic rivalry, the event is shaping up to be one of the most eagerly awaited soccer gatherings in the region this year.
