Orlando City SC and Orlando Pride, together with a coalition of local partners, have revealed the full program for the upcoming Orlando Soccer Celebration, a six‑week festival that will transform Pointe Orlando into a hub of football, music and global cuisine from June 11 to July 19, 2026.
A Festival of Football and Culture
The celebration will showcase live viewings of all 104 matches of the FIFA World Cup 2026, allowing fans to experience the tournament’s biggest moments on the open‑air grounds of Pointe Orlando, a venue known for its 2,500 parking spaces and more than 20 restaurants.
A diverse slate of musical acts will take the stage, featuring Brazilian samba producer Jair Oliveira, UK rapper TKandz, Brazilian‑born singer Gabby B and Moroccan hip‑hop collective FNAÏRE. Each artist brings a distinct sound that reflects the event’s international flavor.
Orlando City defenders Griffin Dorsey and Zakaria Taifi, alongside Pride goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse, are scheduled to make personal appearances throughout the festival, offering fans the chance to meet their on‑field heroes.
The entertainment lineup also includes special guest David Faulk, a local broadcaster, and Dr. Neal Phillips, who will host interactive sessions on sports science, while Ian Finch will lead behind‑the‑scenes tours of the venue.
Sponsored by Community Partners
The festival is presented by Verizon, with additional support from sponsors such as Inter, Orlando Health, and Avianca Airlines. Cultural collaborators include Rolling Loud, Spotify, Berklee College of Music, Disney Springs and Ole Red Orlando, each contributing unique experiences ranging from exclusive playlists to themed dining pop‑ups.
Visitors can explore a global food market curated by Travel + Leisure and Visit Orlando, sampling dishes from Brazil, Morocco and the United Kingdom alongside local Florida specialties. The venue’s layout ensures easy access to both culinary delights and interactive fan zones.
City officials say the event will boost tourism and highlight Orlando’s growing reputation as a sports and entertainment destination ahead of the World Cup, reinforcing the region’s commitment to community engagement and economic development.
