The Unofficial, Accidental Philly Soccer Walking Tour presented by Because Football
AKA We looked it up so you didn't have to...
Celebrate the world's game coming to Philly by leaning into local stories!
Designed for both soccer nerds and newbies, join us for a fun jaunt through the city's hidden soccer stories.
Part history tour, scavenger hunt, and A Completely Reasonable Excuse to Walk Around The City! - you'll hear the hidden tales, forgotten over the generations, of influential players, clubs, and moments. You''ll also learn about the ups and downs, the ridiculous rollercoaster ride that is soccer in Philadelphia, complete with its gimmicks but also impressive passion.
We aren't experts, we just have an unhealthy obsession with this game and want to paint a full picture of the wonder and absurdity of American soccer to share with you!
You'll be amazed, you'll be surprised, you'll burn calories to justify all your indulgences during the tournament and maybe, just maybe, you'll make some friends along the way.
And, thanks to our partnership with Lion Sports Bar Philly, one of the city's top soccer bars, you'll have the chance to enjoy a watch party after our tour!

Please note: this is an outdoor walking tour. Summer heat, Philadelphia streets, about 2 miles on your feet. Nothing extreme — flat route, all ages, moderate fitness level is plenty. Think comfortable shoes, not running gear.
We'll be announcing more details — exact stops, meeting point, what to bring — as we get closer.
Sign up first, details follow. That's kind of how the best things work anyway.
