Event: Join Girlactico for the Men's World Cup Semi-Final

We said we'd do it… so here it is.

In our recent piece regarding the experience of women watching the Men's World Cup, we proposed a simple concept, what if you could experience the tournament's most pivotal matches in a space dedicated to women who love football? We imagined an environment free from the pressure to "prove" your fandom, a place centered on community and the shared thrill of the game. As it happens, that vision resonated far beyond just us.

On Wednesday 15 July, Girlactico is partnering with The Queen's Court to bring that idea to life with a special Men's World Cup Semi-Final watch party at 180 Studios in London, creating a space where women can experience one of the biggest nights in football together, surrounded by people who understand exactly why the game means so much.

Women's football has changed the way so many of us experience the sport. It has introduced us to communities that feel genuinely welcoming, friendships that began in the stands, group chats that have become family and matchdays where celebrating every save and last-minute winner feels completely natural. It's shown us that football is about so much more than 90 (and sometimes 120) minutes on the pitch, it's about belonging, shared experiences and finding your people.

So why should that feeling disappear when the Men's World Cup rolls around? This isn't just somewhere to watch a semi-final. It's an opportunity to experience one of the defining nights of the tournament with a community that has grown through a shared love of football, whether you discovered the game through the Lionesses, grew up watching every international tournament imaginable or have simply found yourself falling in love with football all over again.

Expect the kind of atmosphere that makes knockout football unforgettable, every chance celebrated together, every controversial refereeing decision passionately debated, every last-minute goal sending the room into chaos. Alongside a cinematic live screening, the evening will feature immersive experiences from Adidas and Foot Locker, DJs soundtracking the night and plenty of opportunities to meet fellow fans who care about football just as much as you do.

We're also incredibly excited to be hosting a special panel discussion, with speakers to be announced soon, bringing together voices from across football and culture to explore the conversations shaping the game today and the role women continue to play in driving it forward.

Whether you're coming with your five-a-side teammates, your football group chat, your sister, your mum or simply on your own, this is exactly the kind of event where you'll never stay a stranger for long. Some of the best football conversations happen before kick-off, at half-time and long after the final whistle, and we want this to be a place where those conversations can flourish.

The Men's World Cup always creates moments that stay with us for years to come, but this summer we're just as excited about the memories we'll make off the pitch as the ones we'll witness on it. We can't wait to welcome you to what promises to be one of the most exciting nights of the tournament and we can't think of a better way to experience it than together.

And you can get your tickets here, before they sell out.
