Hundreds of residents gathered at Count Basie Field last night to watch Mexico take on South Korea in a public World Cup watch party hosted by the Borough of Red Bank. The event was the second in a series of community watch parties funded through a $50,000 state grant supporting local celebrations of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Families, soccer fans, and local officials filled the field to watch the Mexico's 1-0 win on a large outdoor screen, turning one of the borough’s busiest public spaces into a community gathering place. The watch party followed an opening-day event on Broadwalk and highlighted the enthusiasm for the tournament within Red Bank’s diverse and soccer-loving community.
The final watch party in the series is scheduled for this afternoon at 3pm when the USA take on Australia.
