The Los Angeles Region will use the spotlight of the FIFA World Cup 26™ to educate and inspire future players, coaches, and referees
The Los Angeles World Cup 2026 Host Committee, in collaboration with the Play Equity Fund, is pleased to announce the launch of its Grow the Game of Soccer Clinic Series, a community legacy program that will use the spotlight of the world’s largest single-sport event to inspire the next generation of soccer players, coaches, and referees across the region.
The Grow the Game of Soccer initiative will feature innovative, free clinics leading up to next summer’s FIFA World Cup 26™ that will bring together the region’s professional soccer clubs — LA Galaxy, Los Angeles Football Club, and Angel City Football Club – along with Cal South and local soccer stakeholders to elevate skills, build confidence, and spark a lifelong passion for the game.
The Grow the Game of Soccer Clinic Series will kick off on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at the Los Angeles City College Soccer Field, with a coaching clinic that will introduce a new training approach that emphasizes broader youth development, not just soccer skills. The clinic will equip grassroots coaches from communities around Greater LA with tools to better understand how the sport can support young people’s emotional growth through physical activity and building meaningful relationships.
