ThemeNightPreview_16x9

4ATX Foundation’s sixth annual Theme Night returns to Q2 Stadium on May 16 as Austin FC takes on Sporting Kansas City for a Celebration of the Global Game. This night will be the Club’s final home match before the 2026 FIFA World Cup break, and it will highlight the communities brought together through soccer and 4ATX Foundation’s work empowering young leaders across Central Texas. 

Fans can kick off the evening early at Live Oak Park with youth pick-up soccer led by 4ATX, live music, and family-friendly activations before rooftop pyro lights up the stadium at kickoff. 450 students and family members connected to 4ATX programs will attend the match as special guests through ticket donations from partners including NFP, Austin Telco, Powerade, Siete and Cyrenity, while standout students from across the programs will be featured during the matchday experience. 

For the occasion, 4ATX Foundation partnered with fellow youth nonprofit Design FC to create a limited top celebrating soccer's role in connecting Austin's diverse communities. Developed in a collaborative workshop with Verde Leaders students and Austin FC players Dani Pereira and Jayden Nelson, the top reflects student and player perspectives while showcasing Design FC's mission to give youth a creative outlet and platform.

The top will be available exclusively through 4ATX's matchday auction and will not be sold to the public.

Fans attending the match can also participate in several fundraising initiatives throughout the night, with proceeds supporting 4ATX youth soccer programs across Central Texas. 

The 50/50 Raffle will feature special matchday pricing, with half of the final pot awarded to one winning fan and the remaining proceeds benefiting 4ATX Foundation programs. Fans can also bid on a team-signed edition of the Design FC x 4ATX top through the matchday auction, available both in-stadium and online.

Fans can register for matchday fundraising opportunities in advance by texting “4ATX” to 44834 or by visiting 4ATX Foundation’s Instagram page.
