FIFA Fan Festival 2023
With the launch of the FIFA Women's World Cup, Fed Square is set to turn into soccer HQ for four action-packed weeks.
Overview
With the FIFA Women's World Cup literally kicking off on July 20, Federation Square is being transformed into the ultimate fan hub, dubbed the FIFA Fan Festival. Set to become Melbourne's HQ for anything World Cup-related, all the matches will be shown on the big screen (pro tip: BYO folding chair). Plus, there's a stacked program of live music, panel discussions, DJs, food and family-friendly activities.
A few highlights include Indigenous singer Sycco, singer-songwriter Samantha Jade and a panel featuring former, capped and future Matildas. There's plenty for the kids to do too, with craft workshops, interactive games and food trucks galore.
Speaking of food, the organisers have really gone all out this year. The FIFA Fan Festival will feature food from all 32 competing nations.
The FIFA Women's World Cup runs from July 20 to August 20, and the Fan Festival zone will be open most days. It will be open Thursday, July 20—Thursday, August 3; Saturday, August 5–Sunday, August 8; Friday, August 11–Saturday, August 12; Tuesday, August 15–Wednesday, August 16; Saturday, August 19–Sunday, August 20.
