LAist's official guide to unofficial World Cup viewing parties

From parking lots, plazas and parks to sidewalks, strip malls, and strangers’ homes, communities throughout Los Angeles will gather throughout the city to cheer on their teams.

Many of these places are unconventional, some are unexpected or informal. All are shaped by the immigrants and refugees who made this city.

For a metropolis representing over 150 countries with more than 220 languages, this year’s tournament's expansion from 32 to 48 teams presents an unprecedented opportunity.

This summer, let’s get to know our city and our neighbors better, celebrate both our differences and what we share, and help welcome the world. If we think of our city as a venue, we can all have a ticket.

Below is an incomplete list of watch parties throughout greater L.A. New events are being announced every day, and some are not widely advertised. Explore our recommendations, but also find your own — and pass them on.

ARGENTINA

Fuegos LA, South Los Angeles

Federico Laboreau and Maximilian Pizzi, designers of the resonant interior of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl casita, are planning a series of watch parties at their equally warm and inclusive restaurant, Fuegos LA, in a South L.A. strip mall.

Viewing sessions will spill out from their restaurant into the mall’s parking lot, expertly transformed into a placita. Empanadas, choripan, pizza, sándwich de vacío, and gourmet hot dogs will be on the menu, as well as additions representing other Latin American countries depending on the match.

With the likely presence of Fernet con coca and metegol, this author couldn’t imagine a better place to watch La Albiceleste defend their title at Messi’s final (for reals, this time) mundial.

Other great options include:

• Mercado Buenos Aires in Van Nuys, which became the unofficial headquarters for the Argentinian community during the last World Cup.
• El Gaucho Meat Market in Redondo Beach, a long-standing cornerstone for the South Bay. 
• Gaucho Grill in Downey.

AUSTRALIA

Another great option:

• The iconic Escala in Koreatown. Owned by Kyu Min Lee (aka OG Chino), who was born in Seoul and raised in Bogotá, the enduring restaurant and bar is a pillar of Chapman Plaza, one of the first American markets designed for the automobile. With a menu where arepas and galbi share space just as naturally as Angelenos from all walks of life sit together on the oversized windowsills of the Churrigueresque-style building, it’s hard to imagine a moment more quintessentially L.A.

CROATIA

Back in 2018, Croatia reached the World Cup final. Even before that, and certainly since, St. Anthony Croatian Catholic Church has been one of the most exciting places to be. L.A.

Established in 1927 by the local Portuguese dairy farming community, Artesia Divino Espirito Santo — known as the Portuguese Hall — is a cornerstone of the neighborhood. While it serves as a venue for weddings and quinceañeras, it also remains the home of the Artesia D.E.S. Soccer Club.

Known for hosting the city’s largest outdoor public viewing events, the last World Cup in Koreatown in 2022 was a subdued, indoors event in the wake of the crowd crush tragedy in Itaewon.

Four years – and one Son Heung-min arrival at LAFC - later, thousands will gather at Liberty Park in Koreatown on June 11 and 24 for massive public viewing events – and a showing of resilience – under the slogan/banner “United LA, United REDS! (하나 된 LA, 하나 된 REDS).”

With the inclusion of a joint celebration at Seoul International Park for the Korea vs Mexico match on June 18, Koreatown organizers will not only realize their aim of promoting “unity, pride, and belonging,” they will show us what solidarity can look like, too.

Maydan Market’s hearth-centered embrace of Los Angeles’ multiculturalism has arrived just in time. The food hall’s dedication to the rich traditions of the SWANA region and Mexico perfectly aligns with Mexico returning as a co-host, and the expanded tournament’s record-setting eight qualifying Arab teams (including Jordan for the first time ever).
