In July 2025, Washington Youth Soccer Foundation launched United For The Game, an inaugural symposium that proved one simple truth: when adults unite around the love of the game, the impact on youth is profound. The response was overwhelming, with attendees asking not just if it would happen again, but when.

This August, we return with United For The Game ‘26, a two-day event dedicated to a single, powerful mission: leveraging the world’s most popular sport to build resilient, inclusive communities.

With the World Cup coming to Seattle, the stakes have never been higher. But beyond the global stage, the real magic happens locally. On the pitch, language barriers dissolve, differences fade, and a shared purpose emerges. This symposium brings together the architects of our youth’s lives—school coaches, club coaches/administrators/directors, PE teachers and other educators, community leaders—to transform that shared passion into tangible action.
