Why the world’s biggest soccer competition?
Mission Cup is a gospel-centered outreach that takes place alongside the World Cup, using the global passion for soccer to share the message of Jesus Christ. Through one-day soccer tournaments, community engagement, and faith-based conversations, we bring the hope of the gospel to fans and players from around the world.
Mission Cup is an initiative of Assemblies of God U.S. Missions, specifically through our Gospel Outreach Ministry. We partner with churches, missionaries, and local communities to create meaningful opportunities for evangelism.
Just as soccer unites people across cultures and nations, the gospel unites all people under Christ. Mission Cup uses soccer tournaments, outreach events, and relational evangelism to introduce people to Jesus in a way that resonates with their love for the game.
Mission Cup will host one-day soccer tournaments in seven cities:
· Kansas City
· Houston
· Miami
· Los Angeles
· Philadelphia
· New York
· Dallas

This playbook is designed to help Assemblies of God districts, networks, and churches creatively engage their communities through the Missions Cup, drawing inspiration from the excitement and energy of the World Cup. The focus is on evangelism, community building, and outreach, all centered around the theme: "Where the Gospel Meets the
Goal."
