About us

The Flushing Showdown is a community-based soccer showcase held in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Queens, New York. Founded as a grassroots initiative, the event brings together local players, teams, and fans for competitive 6v6-style matches, focusing on community, creativity, and player exposure.

Launched to elevate local talent, The Flushing Showdown blends organized gameplay with modern sports presentation, including custom uniforms, live announcing, music, and professional-style media coverage. The event emphasizes accessibility and inclusion, allowing players to compete in a structured environment while being showcased through photography, video, and social media content.

The Flushing Showdown operates as a community-first project, reinvesting funds into event operations such as equipment, uniforms, media production, transportation, and staffing. While modest in scale, the event has drawn attention for its professional presentation and ambition, often compared to larger grassroots sports showcases.

By combining local competition with modern branding and storytelling, The Flushing Showdown aims to evolve into a recurring platform for youth and amateur players in New York City, showcasing the city’s rich soccer culture and talent pool.
