We’re excited to announce that in August 2026, we’ll be celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Worcester World Cup! ⚽🗺️
What began in 2006 at the Elm Park School field has grown into something far bigger than a tournament. From EPCS to Foley Stadium, the Worcester World Cup has become a celebration of culture, identity, pride, and community — right here in our city.
Built by families, players, volunteers, and supporters for the last 20 years, this event reflects the diversity that makes Worcester home. As the world prepares to celebrate the FIFA World Cup in 2026, we’re proud to be prepping a celebration closer to home!
Join us this August 2026 as we celebrate 20 years of the beautiful game, shared traditions, and Worcester pride.
More details coming soon — stay tuned!
