Final FIFA World Cup\u2122 match to be featured at SteelStacks Sunday, Dec. 18<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

BETHLEHEM, Pa.\u2014 The U.S. Men\u2019s National Team may have fallen to the Netherlands during the FIFA World Cup\u2019s knockout stage Saturday, Dec. 3, but Lehigh Valley soccer fans are still feeling the fever, eagerly awaiting the sport\u2019s final match and a chance to celebrate this year\u2019s champion team.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe excitement is still strong here in the City of Bethlehem, despite the USMT loss,\u201d said ArtsQuest\u2019s Chief Operating Officer Curt Mosel. \u201cThousands attended Lehigh Valley SoccerFest at ArtsQuest these past few weeks, demonstrating how important the sport is to our local community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mosel said ArtsQuest will culminate SoccerFest 2022 with a free screening of the World Cup Final inside the Musikfest Caf\u00e9 presented by Yuengling at 10 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 18. Special soccer themed food and drink items will be available for purchase.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough the final teams are still unknown, we\u2019re excited to showcase the final, giving soccer fans one more opportunity to stand side-by-side and chant together for victory,\u201d said Mosel.<\/p>\n

Throughout this year\u2019s cup, SteelStacks has been the Lehigh Valley\u2019s only FIFA approved World Cup viewing location. Mosel explained that the free viewings were made possible due to various partnerships and sponsorships.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were able to provide this ongoing World Cup experience with the assistance of presenting partner Wind Creek Bethlehem, and in partnership with Lehigh Valley United (LVU), Lehigh Valley Health Network,\u00a0Baby J Productions\/Sabroso Video, La Mega Radio, Coca-Cola of the Lehigh Valley, KLYR Rum, Discover Lehigh Valley and WFMZ (Edici\u00f3n En Espa\u00f1ol) TV69,\u201d Mosel said. \u201cThe support for showcasing FIFA World continues to amaze all of us who work behind the scenes to make the Lehigh Valley SoccerFest a success.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Mosel, this year\u2019s presentation included soccer clinics for children from Lehigh Valley United and DOMINATE the 18 Goalkeeper and Soccer Training. \u201cWe\u2019re also extremely grateful to Kwik Goal for providing the equipment used during our youth clinics this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t wait to welcome soccer fans back to SteelStacks December 18,\u201d said Mosel. \u201cUntil then, I expect to see feverish fans like me watching the all the preceding action at Molly\u2019s Irish Grille and Sports Pub in Bethlehem.\u201d<\/p>\n
