Fans of the Seattle Sounders and Seattle Reign football clubs recently had a once-in-a-lifetime chance to go from the stands to the field, as they joined their favorite soccer league pros for a community event aimed at building skills and fostering a stronger connection with the team.
The event, officially named the “Soccer for All” Community Day, took place on August 15, 2025, at the Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila, just south of Seattle. The day was a celebration of the city’s vibrant soccer culture and a testament to the clubs’ commitment to community engagement.
Fans of all ages had the opportunity to run drills, practice shots on goal, and participate in friendly scrimmages alongside their heroes. Players from both the Sounders and Reign, including star midfielder Cristian Roldan and Reign captain Jess Fishlock, were on hand to offer tips, sign autographs, and share their love for the game.
“It’s incredible to see the passion firsthand,” Roldan told local media. “These are the people who support us week in and week out. Giving back to them is what it’s all about.”
The event underscored a growing trend in professional sports, where teams are leveraging their platform to create meaningful interactions with their supporters. The day concluded with a collective cheer from fans and players, a unified expression of the bond between the clubs and their community. For the fans who attended, it was more than just a fun day; it was a memory that will last a lifetime.
