DFW is hosting nine World Cup matches this summer, and it starts here.

Join us the night before the first match, Japan vs Netherlands, for a high-energy kickoff in Downtown Plano. In partnership with Ultras Nippon, this event brings together soccer fans, music, and culture for one night.

Enjoy live music and a full cultural exchange experience, featuring special performances by Japanese performers and DJs.

You’ll also see a supporter cheer exchange between Japan National Team fans, Ultra Nippon, and FC Dallas supporters, the Dallas Beer Guardians.

A live talk session with soccer figures is planned. Speaker details will be announced soon.

Food, drinks, and a full bar will be available onsite.

Easy access via DART Red Line and Silver Line.

This is not a game broadcast. It’s a live, in-person celebration of soccer culture and a connection between Plano and Japan.

Open to everyone.
