Celebrate the Draw for the 2026 World’s Game with Us

You’re invited to join the City of Redmond at 8 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 5 at the Archer Hotel in Downtown Redmond to celebrate the draw for the 2026 international soccer tournament, in which qualified teams are sorted into their playing groups.

In partnership with Amazon, Sounders legends James Riley and Brad Evans will be on hand to talk about all things soccer with attendees, including sharing updates from the draw as the community comes together to celebrate the World’s Game and learn which teams will be playing in each group.

The event is free and open to the public. There will be a complimentary continental breakfast, prize drawings, and photo opportunities with the Sounders legends. Co-working space will also be available for community members who need to multitask.
