EVERETT, NOV. 10: A free, all-ages watch party for the U.S. Soccer Men’s National Team match against Uruguay will take place at the Flying Pig next week.
The event is a collaboration between the City of Everett, United Soccer League (USL), Snohomish County Sports Commission and the Greater Everett Chamber of Commerce.
The event scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 18, is the final match before the FIFA World Cup 26 Final Draw, where 48 competing nations will learn their group stage opponents for the tournament.
Doors will open at 3:30 p.m. with kickoff at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 18, at the Flying Pig, 1414 Hewitt Ave. During the event, there will be an opportunity to engage with representatives from the city, USL and the Snohomish County Sports Commission to learn more about the effort to bring professional soccer to Everett, the city said in a press release.
