Manchester Hosts Free World Cup Watch Parties

Manchester’s JFK Memorial Coliseum is hosting free World Cup watch parties to celebrate soccer’s unifying power, kicking off with a historic match: Congo’s first-ever World Cup goal against Portugal. The city’s first-ever tournament watch parties bring together fans, officials, and communities — from a Milford soccer fanatic clearing his schedule to city departments collaborating to make it happen. Two more games are on tap Thursday: Curaçao vs. Ivory Coast at 4 p.m., and Turkey vs. U.S. at 10 p.m. — all designed to turn the beautiful game into a backyard celebration for everyone.
