When the game's this big, you don't watch alone

Argentina vs. Cape Verde. Watch it with Boston.

Back by popular demand. You told us you wanted more of these gatherings, more culture, more community, more reasons to come together around the beautiful game. So we are running it back, and we are proud to celebrate Boston’s Cape Verdean community at the heart of it.

Cape Verde takes the field in the Round of 32, facing Argentina in what’s sure to be an electric match, and we are bringing the whole city together at the Lawn on D to take it in. Expect live cultural performances, music, food, and family-friendly activities, all set to the energy of one of Boston’s most vibrant communities. Whether your roots run back to the islands, you bleed Argentine blue and white, or you are just here for the love of the game, there is a place for you in this crowd.

This is what Boston does best: every flag, every accent, every corner of the world, all in one place for ninety minutes of soccer.
