2025 Liberty Bell Classic

We are excited to celebrate 15 YEARS of the Liberty Bell Classic tournament! 


The Philadelphia Falcons, Philadelphia’s premier LGBTQIA+ soccer nonprofit, is teaming up with community partners to sponsor our 15th Liberty Bell Classic soccer tournament on Saturday, October 18th, 2025. This tournament welcomes players of all skill levels and gender identities, with two divisions to choose from: 

  • OPEN: open to players of any gender identity. 
  • FLINTA* (previously women’s/non-binary): Open to anyone who identifies as one of these gender identities.  

*FLINTA is an inclusive German acronym standing for women, lesbian, intersex, non-binary, trans, and agender.


FORMAT

This year, we’re changing up the tournament venue and format. 

  • 5 v. 5 including goalie (max 10 players per team)
    • ~25 minute games
    • 12x6m nets, futsal balls 
    • We will use round-robin open play to sort teams into “competitive” and “recreational” brackets for playoffs 
  • Duration: ~9 am - 4 pm


LOCATION

The 2025 Liberty Bell Classic will be played on turf at the Temple STAR Complex (1816 N 15th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19121), an indoor turf venue located in North Philadelphia. The complex is close to a large selection of restaurants as well as being easily accessible by public transportation.
