U.S. Soccer House presented by Bank of America: The Beachside Beacon for American Soccer Fans
The Venice Beach destination serves as the official home for all U.S. Soccer fans during the FIFA World Cup 2026
While the U.S. Men’s National Team players and staff have settled into their home-away-from-home down at the Orange County Great Park in Irvine, Calif., the U.S. Soccer fans who have made their way to Southern California now have a place of their own just 50 miles up the Pacific coast.
Only a block away from the picturesque shores of Venice Beach, U.S. Soccer House presented by Bank of America stands out among the hustle and bustle of the tourist-filled destination, towering above the cozy streets adorned with ‘Never Chase Reality’ murals.
U.S. Soccer House emerged out of a reimagined industrial space and features a myriad of fan-focused activations. As a free, open-to-the-public fan destination for registered U.S. Soccer Insiders, U.S. Soccer House blends soccer, culture, entertainment and community impact as U.S. Soccer’s hub throughout the group stage.
The venue offers daily match screenings, live programming, partner activations, athlete appearances and immersive fan experiences. U.S. Soccer Premium and VIP Insiders also receive exclusive perks at U.S. Soccer House, including access to meet and greets with U.S. Soccer legends.

U.S. Soccer House officially opened on June 11 to much fanfare, as the line of supporters wrapping around the block began to stream in. In addition to a smattering of classic U.S. Soccer kits, many supporters entering U.S. Soccer House donning either the new Stars Kit or Stripes Kit and were greeted by several activations from the onset.
There was an opening ceremony, a live FOX broadcast with Rob Stone, Stu Holden, and Clint Dempsey, a Soccer Forward panel, and a fireside chat featuring U.S. Women’s National Team head coach Emma Hayes and players Sam Coffey and Kennedy Wesley—fresh off a flight from Brazil following a double-header against the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup hosts.
For a trio of U.S. supporters, the opportunity to check out U.S. Soccer House was one they were not prepared to miss.
John McKennie, father of USMNT midfielder Weston McKennie, used the opportunity to connect with fellow supporters while imparting a bit of wisdom to the parents of the next generation of U.S. Soccer stars.
"The fan enthusiasm is off the charts, and the chants that are going on are great,” McKennie said. “I like the variety of things they have to offer fans to get them involved. Having this kind of access to U.S. Soccer is very impactful because people can learn a lot and meet many of the family members involved.
“I talked to a gentleman earlier today whose son plays soccer and loves it. He's seven years old, and he asked me for advice on how to cultivate that passion. I think this is a great opportunity for people to meet and talk football."
For Chicago-based, rabid U.S. Soccer supporter Phil Labas, the American Outlaws member enjoyed a classic Americana trek to reach U.S. Soccer House.
"We jumped in my truck and rode Route 66 all the way out here because it's the 100th anniversary of the Mother Road,” Labas said. “Why not?"
After attending the USMNT’s sold-out Coca-Cola Send-Off Match against Germany at Soldier Field, Labas and his friend, Logan Pedersen, packed up their truck and drove U.S. Route 66. The pair traversed all 2,448 miles of the Mother Road from its start in downtown Chicago to its terminus in Santa Monica, Calif., all in less than a week.
"Having something like this, having this home base, this beacon of soccer hope, is fantastic,” Labas said of U.S. Soccer House. “It's like saying, 'Yes, soccer is here. We're real. This is legit.'
"This is about transferring energy to the team, transferring energy to other people in the crowd, and helping ignite that spark of love for the game. Love for the game, love for the crest, and wanting to support this team and the women's team in everything they do."
Similarly, Michael Dovellos, a self-described USMNT die-hard, made his way to Venice Beach after attending the Coca-Cola Send-Off Match in Chicago—the 69th USMNT match he’s attended.
"I brought a lot of friends who had never been to a U.S. game before, and they loved it,” Dovellos said of the match in Chicago. “Afterward, they were texting me saying, 'I can't wait to watch them in the World Cup.' It's a great way to introduce people to the national team."
Before he officially made it to his 70th USMNT match—that stunning 4-1 victory against Paraguay in the United States’ FIFA World Cup 2026 opener—Dovellos described what it meant to see U.S. Soccer House in person.
"Having the players, former players, the shop and the community all here is pretty cool,” he said. “A lot of friends are in town, and this gives everyone a place to stay, hang out and watch important games together. You can't beat that."
Already having welcomed thousands of soccer fans through the first four days alone, U.S. Soccer House is open throughout the World Cup group stage, operating from June 11 to June 26 in Venice Beach. Notable upcoming events include appearances from former USMNT players Paul Caligiuri, Cobi Jones, Jonathan Bornstein and Sebastian Lletget; Soccer on the Beach, presented by Volkswagen, a first-of-its-kind U.S. Men’s and Women’s Beach Soccer National Team doubleheader against Trinidad and Tobago on June 21; and live tapings of the U.S. Soccer Podcast presented by Henkel following each USMNT group stage match.
In addition to the collection of unique activations, fans can enjoy a variety of experiences throughout the run of U.S. Soccer House, including the Official U.S. Soccer Store presented by Visa, the Chobani Café, the Michelob ULTRA Pitchside Bar, the Panini Trading Card Booth, the Collectors Wall: A History of the U.S. Men’s National Team, and much more.
