About the Event

With the World Cup coming to Seattle, the stakes have never been higher. But beyond the global stage, the real magic happens locally. On the pitch, language barriers dissolve, differences fade, and a shared purpose emerges.

The United for the Game Soccer Symposium brings together coaches, educators, club leaders, and community organizations from across Washington to turn that shared passion into meaningful action.

Through immersive classroom discussions and on-field workshops, attendees will explore how soccer can create stronger, more inclusive communities for young athletes. Sessions will focus on coaching techniques that support well-rounded player development while creating spaces where every player feels welcome and supported.

Participants will also hear from former players, community leaders, and others who have experienced firsthand how sport can create belonging, strengthen mental health, and open doors for connection and opportunity.

Additional schedule information, special events, and featured appearances will be announced in the coming weeks.
