DELTAS, CITY FC, SPIKES JOIN MLS CUP FINAL PARTY

This weekend, Toronto FC host Seattle Sounders FC in Toronto for the 2016 MLS Cup, the ultimate prize in American soccer.

FootySF is marking the occasion with their MLS Cup Final viewing party at the San Francisco Athletic Club. The event is in its fourth year and is an annual benefit for the Bay Area chapter of Street Soccer USA.

This year local soccer fans will be joined by representatives of the San Francisco Deltas, San Francisco City Football Club, San Francisco Spikes Soccer Club, and local branches of the American Outlaws.

SF Deltas, the North American Soccer League’s first West Coast club, are slated to begin play next year at Kezar Stadium.

SF City FC, a supporter-owned soccer club will play their second consecutive season in the USL Premier Development League in 2017.

The San Francisco Spikes Soccer Club provides recreational playing opportunities in leagues and tournaments for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender players, along with their allies.

Also expected are members of U.S. Soccer supporters group, American Outlaws, who have Northern California Chapters in San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Santa Rosa and Modesto.

The Sounders will have a solid presence at the event as the Fog City Faithful, a vibrant local Seattle supporters group, have designated it their official San Francisco watch party.

The Deltas, City FC, and the Spikes have all contributed prizes to a raffle that is an important component of the event’s fundraising effort.

As in previous years, the event is a benefit for the Bay Area chapter of Street Soccer USA, a non-profit utilizing soccer in their social mission to aid homeless and at-risk teens and young adults.

SSUSA’s Co-Founder and COO, Rob Cann had this to say about the event, We are pumped and thankful to work with FootySF, to host the Bay Area’s premier MLS Cup watch party. The match grows in popularity each year, and does this event. We’re confident this year will be the best year, and more importantly, the proceeds will help Street Soccer USA to fight poverty and empower community through soccer, in the Bay Area.

The San Francisco Athletic Club has a complete bar, a full food menu and a whopping 28 big screen televisions to watch the match on!

Fans will be asked for a suggested donation at the door, which gets them food and drink specials as well as entry into the raffle for fantastic prizes.
