A new promotional video created by adidas and Soccer.com is helping build excitement for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup matches in Seattle, and several members of Eastside FC were featured prominently in the production.
The video, part of a series of eight pieces highlighting each World Cup host city, was filmed on a rainy night in Preston several months ago. Despite the downpour, the production team captured extensive training footage of the club environment, showcasing the intensity and energy of local youth soccer in the Pacific Northwest.
Among those featured were Mason Zietler and Riley Rountree, both of whom were interviewed on camera as part of the storytelling piece. Their perspectives helped highlight the player experience and what the beautiful game means to them.
Also featured was coach Justi Baumgardt and her G15 Red team. The crew captured training sessions in true Northwest conditions, with the team working through heavy rain while maintaining focus, intensity, and standards.
The combination of player interviews and on-field B-roll created a grounded, authentic look at youth soccer in the region. The production emphasized not only the excitement around the upcoming World Cup in Seattle, but also the everyday environment that develops players long before they reach the international stage.
