Guided Search: Sports, Women

The Mid-Atlantic - Eurasia Business Council and Philadelphia Conventions and Visitors Bureau are planning a program to celebrate two occasions: first, the Philadelphia Union's victory with best overall record in the MLS and earning the Supporter's Shield trophy; second, the regional intentions to make the city of Philadelphia a FIFA World Cup host and recent city's presentation to FIFA and U.S. Soccer. We hosted a virtual event on December 7, 2020 and would like to invite you to a virtual event in late Spring 2021 and a hybrid/virtual event in Fall 2021.
