Rave Foundation logo

RAVE Foundation is on a mission to build 26 community play fields by 2026 – when the biggest tournament in the world’s game comes to North America. Each RAVE field is developed collaboratively with the communities that surround them, and are activated through year-round RAVE programs designed to foster wellness, inspire learning, and create joy.

RAVE Foundation and our community partners have already opened 13 fields in communities throughout Washington, with seven more planned for 2023.

Help RAVE build 26 free community playfields by 2026. DONATE TODAY.

Our 26 by 2026 partners are turning our vision into reality.

RAVE Fields are Community Anchors

RAVE fields are more than just a soccer space. They are a community’s place to belong. RAVE Fields are intended for the communities they inhabit, and can never be rented by outside groups. RAVE fields can be used for soccer, and for any gatherings or events they inspire. At their core, RAVE fields are designed to invite free, unstructured play.

RAVE Fields are small, informing small-sided soccer or pick-up play. Some feature a turf surface such as the fields at Yesler Terrace Park and NewHolly, and many are hard surface courts or “mini pitches” - such as the fields at Seahurst Elementary in Burien, Highlands Park in Renton, and at Barge-Lincoln Elementary in Yakima.

TODAY: 13 fields have been built, are open for free play and serve as the anchor for RAVE and RAVE partner programs.
