French Tailgate and Match

At Gillette Stadium

Attention all soccer fans, Francophiles, and Francophones! We're inviting you to a Franco-FUN tailgate and match with the New England Revolution on August 31. Plus, a chance to meet French player Wilfried Zahibo!

Starting at 5:30 PM, we will meet before the game for a tailgate in Gillette Stadium's parking lot. Never tailgated before? It's like a party/picnic before a sporting event! Bring your own food and drink and come meet others in New England's Francophile community. Please note, grills are allowed but open fires are not permitted. View the stadium's parking and tailgate policies here.

Then at 7:30 PM, we'll head over to the stadium and watch the match together. Everyone who purchases a ticket will be entered to win a chance to meet Wilfried Zahibo, the Revolution's player from France!

A portion of the proceeds will benefit the French Library.
