Serve as a Hill Host

On Tuesday, July 23, the University will host an elite international club soccer competition between England's Manchester City and Scotland's Celtic FC in Kenan Stadium. Part of the 2024 FC Series, the match is one of a select few contests taking place in the U.S. between top global soccer clubs.

In downtown Chapel Hill and Carrboro, local community leaders, businesses and organizations are working together on plans to welcome Manchester City and Celtic FC fans to our community. A free trolley will make it easy for fans to visit shops and restaurants around town that are planning special soccer-inspired offers and activities.

One way you can get involved is by lending just one hour of your time in serving as a “Hill Host”—joining a team of University employees and community members who are working as downtown ambassadors to greet fans arriving on the afternoons of July 22 and 23. Our Hill Hosts will help with:

· Welcoming. Greet soccer fans and other visitors with smiles and warm “hellos,” letting those who arrive in downtown Chapel Hill know they are welcome.

· Guiding. Answer questions, provide directions, make recommendations, and help visitors have the best visit possible.

· Hospitality. Extend kindness and warmth to all who visit to let them know Chapel Hill is a community where they can gather, feel at ease, and enjoy one of America’s top college towns.

Please consider serving as a Hill Host to our Manchester City and Celtic FC fans. Let’s gather downtown and help create positive, memorable experiences for all who visit our campus and community for this distinctive event.
