History
The Lehigh Valley SoccerFest and Viewing Party will take place at SteelStacks campus, part of a revitalized 1,800-acre industrial brownfield that was once the home of Bethlehem Steel. Did you know it was also home to one of the most successful and decorated soccer teams in U.S. history?
With the backing of the Bethlehem Steel company, the Bethlehem Steel Football Club was arguably the most successful and decorated team in US soccer history. In 1914, the team went professional as Bethlehem FC. In 1919, Bethlehem Steel FC became the first American professional team to play in Europe when they toured Sweden.
