Spain vs Saudi Arabia World Cup Soccer Watch Party CentroVilla25 3140 West 25th St. Cleveland June 21, 2026
The City of Cleveland, under the direction of Zack Reed, hosted a World Cup Soccer Watch Party in Cleveland at Centro Villa on Sunday June 21, 2026 to watch the match between Spain and Saudi Arabia.
There was a large screen inside along with the shops and restaurants and outside there was a very large screen courtesy of the Cleveland Browns.
Not surprising given the mostly Hispanic neighborhood, most of the fans seemed to be rooting for Spain, especially their 19 year old star Lamine Yamal. But there were others fans of England, Egypt and of course the USA.

Cleveland Browns mascot Chomps was there and kicked the ball around with kids and others.
