Philadelphia will have a new street soccer park ahead of the FIFA World Cup this summer.
Visa, along with national nonprofit Street Soccer USA and Bank of America, announced on Monday, March 30, 2026, the expansion of the Visa Street Soccer Parks to all of the 11 host cities across the country. Officials said these parks will serve as a hub for sport, learning and connection.
“With the FIFA World Cup just months away, we’re shifting from preparation to execution,” Kim Lawrence, Visa’s regional president for North America, said. “This tournament is a global moment, but its legacy is built locally—in the neighborhoods that will host fans, families and the next generation of players.”
Officials said each park will be customized to support the communities it serves and feature two professional grade Bank of America fields, lighting for extended play, learning centers and flexible gathering spaces. Meanwhile, programming will be delivered in collaboration with community partners and tailored to local needs.
“Communities are built on accessible opportunities for connection, healthy activity and growth,” said David Tyrie, president of marketing for Digital and Specialized Consumer Client Solutions at Bank of America. “These are more than just places to play; they are spaces where people of all ages can find common ground through the game of soccer, develop essential life skills and forge lasting bonds that strengthen our community fabric.”
The park is scheduled to open on June 6, 2026, on 1036 North Front Street in Philadelphia.
