San Diego FC celebrates the 18 cities of San Diego County with the 2024 Chrome Ball Tour Presented by Trust & Will. This innovative 18-city year-long community engagement tour unites and recognizes the diverse neighborhoods of San Diego County through a harmonious blend of soccer, arts, and the vibrant cultures that define the region. Every stop of the Chrome Ball Tour is completely free to all attendees and delivers an immersive and unforgettable celebration of the beautiful game of soccer, fosters community spirit and showcases the dynamic essence of San Diego. San Diego County Toyota Dealers are a proud partner of the Chrome Ball Tour with Toyota vehicles transporting the ball from city to city.
San Diego FC continues its commitment to the San Diego art community by incorporating local artists from each of the 18 cities into every Chrome Ball Tour stop. Each tour stop features bespoke collectors’ edition swag, including posters and patches designed by local artists. Attendees who collect all 18 city badges throughout the year will be entered for a chance to win special prizes and exclusive San Diego FC discounts. Additionally, San Diego FC worked with local artist Richie Moon to design the Chrome Ball Tour mark and digital artwork. Special edition prints of artists’ works will be on display and available for purchase throughout the tour on the day, as well as in person and online, at our official merchandise store Eighteen Threads.
