MIAMI, FL (May 20, 2026) — The FIFA World Cup 2026™ Miami Host Committee today announced the launch of Copa del Sol, a three-day community soccer tournament taking place June 5–7 at Lummus Park between 9th and 10th Street on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach as part of the Host Committee’s ONE GAME ONE PASSION community programming leading into the FIFA World Cup 2026™.
Developed by the FIFA World Cup 2026™ Miami Host Committee and its community and commercial partners, and produced by Street Soccer USA with official registration platform Plei, Copa del Sol will bring together more than 160 teams, including youth teams from across Miami-Dade County and South Florida, for a fast-paced, small-sided tournament featuring youth, women’s, competitive, and open divisions.
Held directly on Miami Beach at Lummus Park, Copa del Sol will feature a 4v4 mini-pitch format with high-scoring 15-minute matches designed to create an accessible and community-focused soccer experience during the lead-up to the FIFA World Cup 2026™.
