Montgomery County, Pennsylvania do you have plans this weekend? ⚽🇺🇸

Our friends at @valleyforgesports are hosting @fifaworldcup Watch Parties at the @kop_mall! What better way to enjoy the games than with fellow soccer fans and a big fútbol fiesta atmosphere?

If you’re in the area for the 4th of July, don’t miss the matches and stay for the drone show after the game.

Valley Forge Sports has always been a proud sponsor of our @sincityclassic All Trans Match in Las Vegas, and we’re grateful for their continued support.

Everyone is welcome in Montco. 🌎❤️⚽

Today, on the final day of #PrideMonth, we are heartbroken by the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision impacting transgender athletes and students.

We believe that every person deserves the opportunity to participate in sports with dignity, safety, and respect. Transgender people belong in sport. They belong on our teams, in our communities, and on every field where they are able to experience the joy, friendship, confidence, and belonging that sport can provide.

This decision does not change our mission. We remain committed to creating safe and inclusive spaces for transgender and gender-diverse athletes, advocating for policies rooted in equity and inclusion, educating communities, and standing alongside every athlete whose right to participate is being challenged.

To every transgender young person reading this: you are seen, you are valued, and you are not alone. Your identity is valid, and your place in our community is unquestionable.

Progress has never been linear, and setbacks have never stopped movements built on courage, compassion, and collective action. We will continue working with athletes, coaches, officials, organizations, and allies to ensure that sport remains a place where everyone has the opportunity to belong.

Our commitment remains unchanged.
Because everyone deserves the chance to play.

Hoy juega México, y también es un recordatorio de algo más grande que el resultado: la Selección y la afición no son una sola forma de ser, sino muchas. México somos todas, todos y todes—en la tribuna, en la cancha, y en cada rincón donde el fútbol se vive con orgullo.

Las personas trans también son parte de ese país que hoy se une en la máxima fiesta del fútbol mundial. El juego se celebra mejor cuando se reconoce que la pasión no tiene una sola identidad.

🏳️‍🌈⚽ History will be made at the FIFA World Cup.

Assistant Referee Brooke Mayo is set to become the first openly gay match official to take part in a men’s FIFA World Cup match when she runs the line for Czech Republic 🇨🇿 vs South Africa 🇿🇦 in Atlanta.

Her journey is a reminder that authenticity matters and that representation on the world’s biggest stage can inspire countless others. As Brooke shared, the soccer field has been a place where she feels supported and able to be her authentic self.

Visibility matters. Representation matters. And today, history belongs to Brooke Mayo.
