Seattle | United By Soccer - Presented by SOCCER.COM & adidas

Seattle has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to soccer in America. Now, with the FIFA World Cup 2026 on the horizon, the Emerald City is ready to show the world why it’s one of the strongest soccer cultures in North America.

In Episode 3 of United By Soccer, presented by SOCCER.COM and ‪@adidasFootball we explore a city where the game is built from the ground up — from youth development pathways to one of the most passionate supporter cultures in the country.

We meet the players and coaches at the University of Washington helping shape the next generation of talent, the youth clubs like Emerald City FC and Eastside FC developing players and people, and the communities using the game to connect cultures — from Japanese-language teams to lifelong families built around soccer. We also step into one of the fiercest rivalries in MLS, as Seattle takes on Portland in a derby that defines the city’s love for the game.
