How Comcast California is Gearing Up for Game Day

Comcast is helping FIFA World Cup™ fans in California get pumped and ready for game day as the kickoff approaches. Xfinity stores in San Jose, Salinas, and Fresno featured a La Voz de la Gente Sound Booth in late October where fans were able to come into the store and record their personalized take on the iconic “GOOOL!” cry.

In Fresno, the Fresno Fuego soccer team joined in on the celebration at their local Xfinity store as well. They had a meet-and-greet with their fans and made “GOOOLS” of their own hosting a soccer camp for young aspiring soccer players.

These pre-game events have us and our local customers excited and ready to kick off game day on November 20.
