From June 26 through July 17 the Phinney Neighborhood Association (PNA) will once again turn their Community Hall into a World Cup fan fest extraordinaire: Roughly 20 soccer matches will be shown LIVE on a big movie screen as the US Women’s team and 15 of the world’s best teams will converge on Germany this summer to compete for the biggest prize in women’s soccer.

Home country favorites, Germany, have won two straight World Cups, while the U.S. team (two-time World Cup champions and currently ranked Number One) is coming off a gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and a record 8th Algarve Cup win. Brazil, led by five-time FIFA World Player of the Year, Marta, hopes to shed the runner-up label and win its first major global soccer title.

These public viewing are an all-ages even and entry to this event will be on a first come, first serve basis.

Suggested donations for the event are $3/game for adults; $2/game for children (under 18) or $10/game for families. Refreshments will be on hand.

The event is co-hosted by the Pig ‘n Whistle Pub, which will show all Sunday matches. Both venues are all ages.

The Community Hall is located in the brick building on N 67th Street and Dayton Ave N.
