The City of Worcester, in partnership with Discover Central Massachusetts (DCM), Downtown Worcester Business Improvement District (BID), Massachusetts Organization of African Descendants (MOAD), Massachusetts Youth Soccer, and 4Life Entertainment will host "Game on Worcester," a series of four events that will broadcast FIFA World Cup games on the Worcester Common. All events are free and open to the public, and we ask you to pre-register to ensure proper capacity.
