First Touch and The South African Consulate Of New York have teamed up to bring you a series of events celebrating the countdown to the World Cup Finals in June.

Join NY Soccer fans to kick off the season with a big party at Nevada Smiths on Saturday March 27th between 2-6pm.

Come and join in the fun with African dancers, drummers,food, and give-aways to celebrate the first MLS game in the brand new Red Bull Arena as the New York Red Bulls take on Chicago Fire at 7pm. We’ll be sure to send you off to the stadium in high spirits!

The ESC will be at El Pastor from about 3-4 PM onwards, but we would love it for a bunch of people to go to Nevada’s and start the party off in style as we get ready for the World Cup.
