TOCA Social, a soccer entertainment and dining venue, will host a grand opening on Friday, March 6 to celebrate the debut of the concept at Grandscape in The Colony.<\/p>\n

The concept features \u201cSocial Boxes\u201d where guests can play games that don\u2019t require cleats, jerseys or experience.<\/p>\n

Similar to a golf range or batting cage, TOCA Social takes out the normal competition and makes soccer a social, game-like experience.<\/p>\n

It was founded by two-time U.S. World Cup veteran and Major League Soccer player Eddie Lewis with a goal to make a globally-acclaimed soccer entertainment destination.<\/p>\n

\u201cTOCA was born from my obsession with the technical side of the game and the belief that a soccer ball should be at everyone\u2019s feet,\u201d said Lewis. \u201cAfter seeing the incredible reception in the United Kingdom, bringing our [TOCA] Social flagship home to the U.S. \u2013 and specifically a soccer-rich market like Dallas \u2013 is a dream realized.\u201d<\/p>\n

It also serves as a training center for players to sharpen their skills with what Lewis calls \u201csmall ball\u201d training.<\/p>\n

The social boxes will deliver soccer balls that have technology that will track stats. TOCA hopes it will make the sport more accessible.<\/p>\n

\u201cSoccer is the ultimate unifier, but for too long, the \u2018entry fee\u2019 was being a pro-level athlete,\u201d said Abby Wambach, former USWNT player and TOCA board member. \u201cTOCA Social is changing that narrative. This Dallas-are flagship is where the next generation of American soccer culture is being built.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another part of the experience is the global street food menu that will feature Birria Tacos and Spicy Fried Chicken, paired with the bar\u2019s signature Pitch Invader cocktail.<\/p>\n

The venue will also be filled with TV screens for guests to enjoy live soccer matches.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to transform the game,\u201d said Alex Harman, TOCA Social\u2019s president. \u201cEvery element has been designed to make soccer the most social and accessible sport in Dallas.\u201d<\/p>\n

TOCA Social has partnered with Major League Soccer, furthering its goal to grow soccer play and fandom in the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve created a place where the skill of the pros meets the energy of a world-class night out,\u201d said Lewis.<\/p>\n

Reservations are now available for guests to make at TOCA Social\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The concept will launch ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will take place across parts of North Texas, as well as other cities in North America.<\/p>\n

TOCA Football is one of the world\u2019s leaders in soccer-focused technology. TOCA Social is the entertainment side of the company.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
