Dayton World Soccer Games 2019
The Dayton World Soccer Games continue to bring the greater Dayton community together in celebration of diversity and inclusiveness. The games are free to attend and open to the public - spectators are welcome, and admission and parking are free.
Vendors will sell food and beverages, and there will be balloons and face-painting for kids. Spectators should bring sports seating.
The tournament takes place annually at Action Sports Center, 1103 Gateway Drive, just minutes from any Dayton neighborhood, I-75, Rt. 4 or Rt. 35.
Since its inception in 2012, the Dayton World Soccer Games tournament has sought to unite Dayton’s diverse immigrant and native-born communities in the name of inclusiveness, good sportsmanship and “the beautiful game” itself.
Youth and adult teams represent immigrant nationalities or communities, and at least one member of the team is from that nationality or community. Teams are co-ed, and each team must represent one country with at least one member of the team being a native from that country.
The event is inspired by the Welcome Dayton immigrant-friendly city initiative and produced by the City of Dayton Department of Recreation and Youth Services, in cooperation with community volunteers and partners.
