| Posted by: The Brookhaven Post

Thousands attended Soccerfest in Brookhaven Park last year.

Brookhaven, GA, April 8, 2015 – by the Post Reports – Atlanta Soccerfest today officially announced that the location for SOCCERFEST II, “The Final Countdown” will be Brookhaven Park. Brookhaven Park was the site of the 2014 Soccerfest which drew over 20,000 soccer fans to cheer on the USA vs Portugal in their second match of the FIFA World Cup. This time around, SOCCERFEST II will be showing the third place match of the FIFA Women’s World Cup on Independence Day – Saturday, July 4th – and the World Cup Final on Sunday, July 5th.

Along with the World Cup viewing parties, Soccerfest is planning a Brookhaven Movie night on Friday July 3rd, soccer tournaments and games throughout the weekend, as well as food trucks, a kids fun zone, and FIFA XBOX Tournaments. Soccerfest will also bring back the popular Soccer Arcade on Sunday prior to the World Cup Final.

In addition to all of the soccer festivities, Soccerfest also announces the First Annual Brookhaven BBQ Bash, which will take place on Saturday, July 4th, prior to the showing of the third place match of the FIFA Women’s World Cup. The Brookhaven BBQ Bash will be a Georgia BBQ Association (GBA) sanctioned competition with a total purse of $10,000, one of the largest in GBA history. The BBQ Competition will also include a People’s Choice Award where the public will get a chance to sample BBQ from some of the best BBQ teams in the Southeast.

Soccerfest President Craig Fanti said about the BBQ BASH: “It just make sense to us. What is more patriotic than BBQ on the Forth of July? Add beer to that and a blues concert on the main stage, you can’t go wrong!”

Registration will officially open for the BBQ Competition on Monday, April 13th. For more information, visit brookhavenbbqbash.com.

Soccerfest is also proud to announce partnerships once again with Georgia Soccer and Dragon Goal USA.

“Georgia Soccer is excited to once again partner with the Atlanta Soccerfest,” said Sharron Safriet, Director of Marketing and Events. “There will be lots of activities for every member of the soccer community – from the littlest kickers and their brothers and sisters to the moms and the dads and biggest USA fans. Georgia Soccer members will be in attendance to cheer on the US Women’s National Team on their journey to become Women’s World Cup Champions. If you love soccer – you won’t want to miss the 2015 Atlanta Soccerfest.”

Nicola Vidali, Founder & Managing Director of Dragon Goal said, “Dragon Goal USA is once again proud to partner with Soccerfest to deliver happiness by creating high-quality events to engage and energize communities. We also know that our product is an effective vehicle to build and strengthen the technical foundations of soccer for any player’s age and skill level. This is why this year at Soccerfest we will organize youth and adults 3v3 and 4v4 Dragon Goal tournaments.”

A portion of all proceeds of this celebration of women in sports will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation as well as Keep Kickin’ – both with the mission of fighting cancer. More details can be found at atlantasoccerfest.com.
