Governor Josh Shapiro and Visit PA, in partnership with Philadelphia Soccer 2026 — the nonprofit host committee planning and executing FIFA World Cup 2026 matches in Philadelphia — on Thursday announced the official locations of three “Pennsylvania World Cup Fan Zones,” which will bring the electricity of the world’s biggest sporting event to communities across the Commonwealth. The Fan Zones, which Shapiro says ensures that every Pennsylvanian can experience the magic of FIFA World Cup 2026, will be located in Pittsburgh, Reading, and Scranton — bringing free, world-class public viewing events to tens of thousands of fans. The Fan Zones "will amplify and complement Philadelphia’s 39-day FIFA Fan Festival at Lemon Hill Park — extending the World Cup’s energy and economic impact far beyond Southeastern Pennsylvania," organizers said in a press release. Each Fan Zone will offer large-screen broadcasts of FIFA World Cup 2026 Knockout Round matches, live entertainment, interactive soccer fan experiences, and food and beverages — all free of charge and designed to be accessible to fans of every background. https://www.fox43.com/article/sports/socce...
