Every few years, the world stops for soccer. Strangers become friends, bars turn into vibrant cathedrals of fandom, and cities that live and breathe the game look for that one perfect spot to gather.
This summer, San Antonio’s spot is K.O.P. Sports & Entertainment Center. You might still recognize the energy and the community from its roots as The King Of Padel, but as the venue expands into a complete Sports & Entertainment Center, bringing you everything from elite padel tournaments to golf events and massive screening parties, the new K.O.P. Sports & Entertainment Center era is officially here.
Starting June 11 with the highly anticipated inaugural match between Mexico and South Africa, King’s Tavern is transforming into the city’s loudest, most electric World Cup watch party destination. We are talking massive big screens, ice-cold drinks, and a passionate crowd that knows every chant and strategic play. Every single match is happening right here.
The Moment That Starts It All: Win Tickets with Michelob ULTRA
Before the opening whistle even blows, K.O.P. Sports & Entertainment Center is already making history in the local soccer scene. On June 6 at 2:00 PM, Mexican soccer legend Marco Fabián will be walking through our doors for a one-of-a-kind ticket giveaway powered by Michelob ULTRA.
If you show up and take on the challenge, you could walk away with two tickets to watch Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal face DR Congo live in Houston! (Please note: Must be 21+ to play).
