March to the Match

Join supporters from around the world as Seattle comes alive with the energy, passion and traditions of FIFA World Cup ™. Before each match listed below, fans are invited to gather with fellow supporters, enjoy food and beverages and take part in official pre-match fan marches to the stadium. Whether you’re representing your nation or simply celebrating the global game, Victory Hall, Waterfront Park at Pier 58 and the surrounding fan celebrations will be the place to connect, celebrate and create unforgettable World Cup memories.  

All are welcome at these pre-match gathering locations, but we do ask that participants in the Marches have tickets to the match. No tickets are needed for these events, but space is available first come, first serve and many will be in high demand, so we recommend arriving early.  

What is a March to the Match?

It is a fan tradition that brings supporters together before kickoff to celebrate their team and the spirit of FIFA World Cup™. Fans gather at designated locations to enjoy music, entertainment and community before joining a unified procession to the stadium, creating an unforgettable matchday experience filled with energy, pride and passion.
