The Inaugural Event
Where it
all began.
The first Viva Praesentia event proved the concept. Pickup players, amateur league veterans, and street footballers competed with real brackets, real prizes, and real energy — in partnership with PERMIAS Chicago.
No corporate polish. Just football and the community that showed up to play it properly.
