The Philadelphia Falcons, an LGBTQ+ soccer club, will be creating a guide of safe spaces for queer people to enjoy the World Cup in Philadelphia in 2026.
“It’s as much a celebration as it is a refuge from hostility,” said Keph Senett, trustee for Pride House International.
The need for such an initiative is two-fold, organizers say: to create a refuge from homophobia, but also to create a space filled with joy. “There’s a real need to remedy this idea of sports being the domain of the hypermasculine, and LGBTQIA+ folks not fitting into that,” Senett said. “Men’s football is still really homophobic and sexist, unfortunately. But even so, there’s a place for us to love the sport, to engage with the sport, to play the sport.”Senett added that the recent discussions around trans inclusion in sports “goes to the heart of that issue of sports being this place where people’s gender and bodies are policed.
“That disappears, and it provides, hopefully, an opportunity,” Alfaro said. “I hope that people start to see the excitement early on and help us find other spaces.”
