Florida Storm FC Is Heading to the Gay Games

We couldn't be more proud. Florida Storm FC — the official soccer team of The West End Lounge — has officially qualified to compete in Gay Games XII in València, Spain, from June 27 to July 4, 2026. This is more than a sporting event. The Gay Games brings together thousands of LGBTQIA+ athletes and allies from around the world to compete, connect, and celebrate. For our team, it's the culmination of years of training, friendship, and community. **Show Your Support** Want to cheer them on from home? Follow their journey on our socials.
