On the day

What to expect.

The vibe is community gathering meets matchday party — built for families, casual fans, and supporter clubs who want to celebrate together without a ticket.

Mini-pitches

Small-sided futbol setups for kids and casual players. Bring sneakers — clinics and pickup games run throughout the day.

Big-screen watch party

Live viewing of Netherlands vs. Sweden — Houston Stadium kickoff at 12:00 PM CDT, the same Group F match running across town. Watch with a crowd.

Face paint & kid zones

Face-painting stations for the youngest fans, plus access to The KBC's indoor play areas — Noah's Ark for ages 0–4 and Space Jamz for ages 5+.

Food trucks

Rotating Houston food trucks parked on-site. Mix of family-friendly menus and global cuisine to match the matchday vibe.

The venue

The KBC Houston.

The KBC Houston is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit event venue in south Houston that has been hosting fundraisers, nonprofit galas, community gatherings, and educational events since 2007. Their largest space — the Gymnatorium — seats up to 2,300 theater-style with livestreaming capability to overflow rooms.

Their nonprofit footing and family-first programming made them the obvious partner for the free fan-zone side of our June 20 schedule. The Community Collective for Houston runs the ticketed VIP Fan Fest Night across town that same Saturday evening; The KBC Houston anchors the daytime, family-facing experience.

Match context

Netherlands vs. Sweden, on the big screen.

Saturday, June 20, 2026 · 12:00 PM CDT kickoff · Group F at Houston Stadium. The fan zone runs in parallel from 10 AM to 4 PM, so the morning gives kids and families time to play before the match, and the watch party catches kickoff and the first half together as a crowd.

If you're looking to actually be inside the stadium for this match, the Parking & Shuttle service covers all seven Houston matches — including MD3 on the same day. If you'd rather make a Saturday night of it, the VIP Fan Fest Night picks up that evening at the Community Collective.

See you Saturday.

RSVP so we know how many to plan for. Admission is free; the RSVP just helps the venue stage food, kids' activities, and seating.
