The Challenge
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching, soccer fans had no centralized way to find which bars and restaurants would be showing matches. Information was scattered across social media and word of mouth, with no ability to filter for food specials, drink deals, or verified watch party events tied to specific games.

The Approach
We built WatchWC as a location-aware platform where users can search for nearby venues confirmed to screen World Cup matches. The app includes filtering by venue type, food and drink deals, and verified watch parties. Chicago was curated as the initial launch market, with the architecture designed to scale nationally as more cities are added.
