What happened: The Colorado Rapids have officially opened a month-long 'Soccer Celebration' at Skyline Park in downtown Denver. The festival, promoted by defender Rob Holding, serves as a primary community hub ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Why it matters: The initiative aims to build local momentum for the global tournament hosted across North America. The event comes as the club manages the absence of goalkeeper Zack Steffen, who recently underwent successful shoulder surgery.

What to watch: Fans can visit Skyline Park daily for match screenings, interactive zones, and player appearances through the month of June.
