A Brief History of World Cup Soccer in Detroit

Detroit World Cup history comes alive through Pelé, the 1994 Silverdome matches and Detroit's soccer legacy

  • The factory teams formed in 1914
  • Pele’ and the NY Cosmos visit the Silverdome 1976 
  • The 1994 FIFA World Cup at the Pontiac Silverdome 
  • The “’94 Turf” developed by MSU for the Silverdome lives on at Belle Isle

Driven largely by immigrant communities and the booming auto industry, soccer was established in Detroit  by 1914 when the Packard FC and Roses FC competed in the National challenge Cup.  In 1967 the North Ireland – Glentoran Team was invited to the USA and renamed the Detroit Cougars.  Partially owned by William Clay Ford, (grandson of Henry Ford) they played at Briggs Stadium and University of Detroit.  The team did not last long as an infamous game called the “Detroit Riot” vs Houston Stars ended the 1967 season  in a massive brawl where both teams suffered injuries.

The Cougars were done by 1968.

Eight years later, professional soccer for the Detroit market was put to the test on September 6, 1976, when the New York Cosmos visited the Pontiac Silverdome for a friendly match against the Dallas Tornado.  Pele’ scored a goal in the 3 – 2 victories over Dallas.  Pele’ was the show on that day and was branded the most famous athlete in the world.    The test showed that 27,000 Detroit area fans would appear for the ‘superstar” Pele.   What it really revealed was that the market for professional Soccer was still limited.  Still another attempt saw, The Detroit Express become a member of the NASL in 1978 and played at the Silverdome, the team lasted only two seasons before losing a million dollars and moving to Washington, D.C.

Eighteen years after Pele’s appearance at the Silverdome in ‘76 with the Cosmos, Detroit and the Pontiac Silverdome made the history books with the help of Michigan State University’s Agriculture Department by hosting the first ever World Cup match held indoors.  FIFA strictly prohibited matches being played on artificial turf such as astroturf, etc,.  MSU came to the rescue along with a very clever planning committee and developed a strain of grass that could tolerate the indoor climate of the Silverdome.  This writer attended both the Pele’ (Cosmos) event in 1976 played on astroturf and the World Cup Matches in 1994.   The climate inside the Silverdome was brutal.  The fabric roof of the Silverdome was supported by air pressure and in the ’94 World Cup matches the stadium felt more like a sauna and smelled like a greenhouse.  

1994 FIFA World Cup Matches at Pontiac Silverdome:

  • June 22, (Switzerland 4-1 Romania) attendance 61,428 
  • June 24, (Sweden 3 – 1 Russia) attendance 71,528 
  • June 28, (Brazil 1 – 1 Sweden) 77,2170 fans packed the Silverdome to watch the tie between what turned out to be the World Cup Champion ’94 Brazil and 3rd Place Sweden play to a tie.

Two Points Dropped by DCFC in Last Second Draw

City Takes Down the League Leaders

August 27, 2026

In 1994 Soccer swag and spirit in Detroit was a tough commodity to find, but the Brazilian Cultural Club of Detroit began doing interviews with Globo Brazil Television a couple of months before the game.  In preparation for the ’94 game in Detroit the Brazilian media was interested in where the Brazilian community would gather for the pre-game and post-game parties (Brazilians always need a party) . The Brazilian Cultural Club of Detroit (BCCD) had worked out an agreement with Duggans Irish Pub on Woodward Ave in Royal Oak to be the Official site for Brazilian fans.  The interviews were carried by Brazilian national media and every motel along Woodward was getting reservations by phone from Brazilians asking how close their motel was to Duggans Irish Pub. On the day of the Brazil vs. Sweden there were seven satellite trucks on Woodward in front of Duggans and the crowd had filled the place two hours before busses left for the Silverdome.  Pasquale’s & Red Coat Tavern, restaurant’s next-door and across the street were swamped too.  Following the game, all three places saw Brazilian fans party well into the night while drums were pounding in the parking lots. 

At the Silverdome, the opening ceremony in 1994 was simple compared to today’s formal and media enhanced events.   Six members of the BCCD dressed in costumes and joined the two teams on the field for an opening ceremony.  My wife Marcia [accent on the first “a”] wore a costume from one of the Escolas de Samba (Beija Flor) and others figured out representative costumes.  Families found the canary yellow soccer jerseys and the thousands of Brazilians that attended made that Silverdome look “international”.   Hot and stuffy, the atmosphere in the Silverdome was festive and a taste of the true excitement of World Cup Soccer.  My most vivid memory was that the group of Brazilians we were seated with were constantly going to purchase beer.  Literally a constant stream of yellow jerseys back and forth carrying two 16oz. cups of $10 beer.   The Brazilian fans would take a sip and then pour it over the balcony forming a waterfall of beer on the fans below.  The Swedes below them enjoyed the bath.  The Brazilians and Swedes took it all in stride. 

Soccer caught hold in Royal Oak, and all of Metro Detroit.  On July 17, 1994 Duggans Irish Pub continued to be a place where Brazilian fans held a watch party for the championship match vs. Italy at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA ending in the penalty kick victory for Brazil vs Italy.

Soccer practice pitches on Belle Isle were used by the teams visiting Detroit for the FIFA WC in 1994.  Following the last World Cup game in Pontiac the MSU  turf from the 1994 FIFA World Cup matches  at the Silverdome was transplanted to the  playing field on Belle Isle.  People of all ages can stop by and kick a ball on the turf that saw the World Cup at Michigan’s most visited State Park.

More recently, Soccer has taken a fascinating hold on a segment of Detroit sports fans. The Detroit City FC has made Keyworth Stadium in Hamtramck its special home for years now.  The new stadium for the Detroit City FC in Southwest Detroit will be a fitting pinnacle for the history of Soccer in Detroit.

Breve historia del fútbol de la Copa Mundial en Detroit

  • Los equipos de fábrica que surgieron en 1914
  • Pelé y el New York Cosmos visitan el Silverdome en 1976
  • La Copa Mundial de la FIFA 1994 en el Pontiac Silverdome
  • El césped del Mundial de 1994, desarrollado por MSU para el Silverdome, sigue vivo en Belle Isle

Impulsado en gran parte por las comunidades inmigrantes y el auge de la industria automotriz, el fútbol se estableció en Detroit desde 1914, cuando Packard FC y Roses FC compitieron en la National Challenge Cup. En 1967, el equipo Glentoran, de Irlanda del Norte, fue invitado a Estados Unidos y pasó a llamarse Detroit Cougars. Parcialmente propiedad de William Clay Ford, nieto de Henry Ford, el equipo jugó en Briggs Stadium y en University of Detroit. Sin embargo, su historia fue breve. Un partido que pasó a la historia como el “Detroit Riot” contra Houston Stars terminó la temporada de 1967 en una pelea masiva que dejó jugadores lesionados en ambos equipos. Para 1968, los Cougars ya habían desaparecido.

Ocho años después, el fútbol profesional volvió a ponerse a prueba en el mercado de Detroit. El 6 de septiembre de 1976, el New York Cosmos visitó el Pontiac Silverdome para disputar un partido amistoso frente al Dallas Tornado. Pelé anotó un gol en la victoria por 3-2 sobre Dallas. Ese día, toda la atención estuvo puesta en él, considerado entonces el atleta más famoso del mundo. La asistencia de 27,000 aficionados del área de Detroit demostró que Pelé era una verdadera superestrella, aunque también dejó claro que el mercado para el fútbol profesional seguía siendo limitado. En 1978 llegó un nuevo intento con el Detroit Express, que se unió a la NASL y jugó en el Silverdome. Sin embargo, el equipo duró apenas dos temporadas antes de perder un millón de dólares y mudarse a Washington, D.C.

Dieciocho años después de la visita de Pelé con el Cosmos, Detroit y el Pontiac Silverdome hicieron historia gracias al apoyo del Departamento de Agricultura de Michigan State University, al albergar el primer partido de una Copa Mundial disputado bajo techo. La FIFA prohibía estrictamente que los encuentros se jugaran sobre superficies artificiales como el Astroturf. Por ello, MSU trabajó junto con un ingenioso comité organizador para desarrollar una variedad de césped capaz de sobrevivir en el ambiente interior del Silverdome.

Quien escribe estas líneas asistió tanto al partido de Pelé en 1976, jugado sobre Astroturf, como a los partidos de la Copa Mundial de 1994. El ambiente dentro del Silverdome era extremo. Su techo de tela se mantenía inflado mediante presión de aire y, durante los encuentros del Mundial, el estadio se sentía más como un sauna y olía como un invernadero.

Partidos de la Copa Mundial de la FIFA 1994 en el Pontiac Silverdome:

  • 22 de junio: Suiza 4-1 Rumania — Asistencia: 61,428 personas.
  • 24 de junio: Suecia 3-1 Rusia — Asistencia: 71,528 personas.
  • 28 de junio: Brasil 1-1 Suecia — Asistencia: 77,170 personas.

Ese último encuentro reunió a un Silverdome completamente lleno para presenciar el empate entre Brasil, que más tarde sería campeón del mundo, y Suecia, que terminaría en tercer lugar.

En 1994 era difícil encontrar artículos promocionales o un gran ambiente mundialista en Detroit, pero el Brazilian Cultural Club of Detroit comenzó a conceder entrevistas a Globo Brazil Television varios meses antes del torneo. La prensa brasileña quería saber dónde se reuniría la comunidad brasileña para celebrar antes y después del partido, porque los brasileños siempre encuentran un motivo para hacer fiesta.

El Brazilian Cultural Club of Detroit (BCCD) llegó a un acuerdo con Duggans Irish Pub, ubicado sobre Woodward Avenue en Royal Oak, para convertirlo en el punto oficial de reunión de la afición brasileña. Las entrevistas fueron transmitidas por medios nacionales de Brasil y muy pronto los moteles a lo largo de Woodward comenzaron a recibir llamadas de brasileños preguntando qué tan cerca estaban de Duggans Irish Pub.

El día del partido entre Brasil y Suecia había siete unidades móviles de televisión satelital estacionadas frente al bar, y el lugar ya estaba lleno dos horas antes de que salieran los autobuses rumbo al Silverdome. Los restaurantes Pasquale’s y Red Coat Tavern, ubicados a un lado y enfrente del pub, también estuvieron completamente llenos. Después del partido, los tres establecimientos permanecieron abarrotados mientras los aficionados brasileños celebraban hasta altas horas de la noche al ritmo de tambores que resonaban en los estacionamientos.

En el Silverdome, la ceremonia inaugural de 1994 fue sencilla en comparación con los grandes espectáculos multimedia de hoy. Seis integrantes del BCCD, vestidos con trajes tradicionales, acompañaron a ambos equipos durante la ceremonia sobre el campo. Mi esposa, Marcia (con el acento en la primera “a”), vistió un traje de una de las Escolas de Samba, Beija-Flor, mientras los demás usaron distintos atuendos representativos de Brasil.

Las familias lucían camisetas amarillas de la selección brasileña y los miles de aficionados brasileños que asistieron hicieron que el Silverdome se sintiera verdaderamente internacional. Aunque el calor y la humedad eran intensos, el ambiente era de auténtica fiesta y ofrecía una muestra del entusiasmo que caracteriza a una Copa Mundial.

Mi recuerdo más vívido es que el grupo de brasileños con el que estábamos sentados no dejaba de ir por cerveza. Era un desfile constante de camisetas amarillas que iban y venían cargando dos vasos de 16 onzas de cerveza de 10 dólares cada uno. Tomaban un sorbo y luego vaciaban el resto desde el balcón, formando una auténtica cascada de cerveza sobre los aficionados que estaban abajo. Los suecos recibían el baño con buen humor. Tanto brasileños como suecos disfrutaban el momento y lo tomaban con gran deportividad.

La pasión por el fútbol comenzó a crecer en Royal Oak y en toda el área metropolitana de Detroit. El 17 de julio de 1994, Duggans Irish Pub volvió a reunir a la afición brasileña para ver la final entre Brasil e Italia, disputada en el Rose Bowl de Pasadena, California. Brasil conquistó el campeonato en una emocionante definición por penales.

Las canchas de entrenamiento de Belle Isle fueron utilizadas por las selecciones que visitaron Detroit durante la Copa Mundial de la FIFA de 1994. Una vez concluido el torneo en el Pontiac Silverdome, el césped desarrollado por Michigan State University para esos partidos fue trasladado e instalado en una cancha de Belle Isle. Hasta el día de hoy, personas de todas las edades pueden visitar ese campo y jugar sobre el mismo césped que fue escenario de una Copa Mundial, en el parque estatal más visitado de Michigan.

En años más recientes, el fútbol ha ganado un lugar especial entre muchos aficionados al deporte en Detroit. Detroit City FC ha convertido durante años al Keyworth Stadium, en Hamtramck, en su hogar. Ahora, el nuevo estadio de Detroit City FC en Southwest Detroit representará un nuevo capítulo y un digno punto culminante en la historia del fútbol en Detroit.
