ATLANTA, GA — LakePoint Sports, the premier travel and youth sports destination in the country, today announced it will welcome athletes, fans, and magical competitors from around the globe for the Quidditch World Cup, transforming its 1,300-acre campus into the epicenter of wizarding sport.
Putting the guest first and building on its commitment to Delivering Excellence with world-class events, LakePoint Sports will bring Quidditch to life across its expansive multi-sport venues—blending elite competition, cutting-edge technology, and fan-first experiences in a way only LakePoint can.
“Reaching a new community in the world of wizards through the Quidditch World Cup represents more than a first-of-its-kind event for us —it’s a reflection of our vision to create unforgettable experiences that bring communities together through sport and magic,” said Liora Folps, LakePoint Sports’ Director of Magic Relations. “From athletes and families to fans and partners, LakePoint is proud to welcome the wizarding world to our campus and showcase what’s possible when innovation meets imagination.”
Included with the multi-day schedule of competition, the Quidditch World Cup will feature:
• Limited time food-and-beverage offerings, echoing the distinct international wizard communities competing across LakePoint’s championship-caliber fields
• Fan experiences, including interactive zones, themed activations, and live entertainment
• Owned-and-operated advanced broadcasts and streaming technology, bringing the action to audiences worldwide
• On-site brand and partner activations, creating a dynamic environment for engagement and discovery
Like LakePoint’s existing large-scale initiatives—designed to unite athletes, families, brands, and fans in a shared experience—the Quidditch World Cup will serve as a global gathering point where competition, community, and culture converge.
“Stepping outside of our current offerings, we continue to push the boundaries of what a sports destination can be, the Quidditch World Cup is a bold step forward,” Folps added. “This is about creating moments that captivate, inspire, and leave a lasting impact on everyone who steps onto our campus.”
This is a completely fictitious event, and if you’re read this far, hopefully you now realized the first line of each sentence spells out A-P-R-I-L-F-O-O-L-S … and that Liora Folps is an anagram of, yep, April Fools.
