The PHLCVB leveraged the city’s first-ever Rocky™Fest to generate news coverage from top-tier publications in Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands, which will result in extensive exposure for Philadelphia in key European inbound tourism markets. The curated itinerary for this press trip showcased Philadelphia’s top historic attractions, robust arts and culture, thrilling sports scene, award-winning chef-driven restaurants, and much more. The trip was built around the city’s first-ever RockyFest, a week-long celebration of Philadelphia’s iconic film franchise. The group participated in several Rocky-themed activities, including the unveiling of Sylvester Stallone’s statue atop the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps, a bus tour of Rocky-franchise film locations, and a special dinner at The Victor Café (film location in Rocky Balboa) with Rocky expert Dr. Paul Farber and Rocky statue artist A. Thomas Schomberg. Thank you to all of the local organizations who participated in this press trip and created memorable experiences for these visitors.

Next summer, Philadelphia will host 8 matches in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 featuring some of the globe's most popular teams: Chelsea, Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Juventus. Lincoln Financial Field will host 6 group stage games, 1 in the round of 16 and a quarterfinal match on July 4. Philadelphia's 8-game total is tied for the second-biggest of any host city in the #FIFACWC 2025. Chelsea FC last played in Philadelphia during the 2023 Premier League Summer Series and drew a large crowd of their passionate fanbase (pictured below). #discoverPHL #PHLSports
