The Standard
We believe the highest level of the beautiful game requires natural grass--no exceptions.
Most soccer in South Florida happens on artificial turf. We built Gol Gala the other way round: Official 7v7 natural grass pitches in elite condition, marked and maintained for the day. Our players love it and we know you will too.
The Record
Three tournament editions plus the exhibitions and crossover events built around them — including two collaborations with Pilates & Lattes Club, one of them inside Chase Stadium on an Inter Miami matchday.
June 20, 2026
Our largest edition to date. Elite 7v7 across a full day on natural grass, a 50-ft jumbotron streaming World Cup matches, DJ, live broadcast and close to a thousand attendees. Los Fantasmas won the $10,000 tournament and lifted the trophy.

Free and open to every player who wanted a run-out. A relaxed morning on the same grass pitches used for the championship, built so teams and individuals could get a feel for the surface and the standard before the tournament proper.
Free · Open to All PlayersJune 13, 2026
Hosted with Pilates & Lattes Club at Arena Wynwood — a live Pilates class running into a World Cup watch party. Co-ed, open to all levels, and a genuine crossover between Miami's wellness and soccer communities.

The second edition, and the one that proved the format. A deeper, more competitive field than the inaugural year, with Auld Dubliner 7's coming through it and Rovers FC falling just short in the final.
Champions: Auld Dubliner 7'sOctober 11, 2025
A pre-game festival at Chase Stadium rolling straight into Inter Miami against Atlanta United. The first co-ed edition of the series, produced with Pilates & Lattes Club on an MLS matchday.

Where it started. Athletic Core Fitness won it and set the benchmark everyone has chased since.
Champions: Athletic Core FitnessThe Story
Gol Gala was created to showcase the passion and talent South Florida has for the beautiful game. We are curators of competition and culture, and this is the most elite 7v7 soccer tournament in Miami.
It started in 2024 with a single day of competition and passion. Three editions later, nineteen teams have competed, more than eighteen thousand dollars has been handed over on the pitch, and the 2026 World Cup Edition drew our largest crowd yet.
Presented by Sport Spectator since 2024.
From the Founder
"Three years ago I wanted to build the tournament Miami deserved — real grass, real referees, real stakes, and a day that felt like an occasion. The World Cup Edition in June was the proof. Nineteen clubs have now played in this thing, and every one of them raised the standard for the next. We are only getting started."
John Lasak — Founder & CEO, Gol Gala
