What Is SoCo After Dark

SoCo After Dark is the official night experience of SoCo Expo. After the floor closes each evening, the energy keeps going — headlined by the Breakfast Cards FIFA Tournament and built for collectors, dealers, and the community to compete, trade, and connect late into the night.

​

Free to attend, no badge required. Just show up — and if you want to compete, lock your tournament spot in advance.

Breakfast Cards

FIFA Tournament

The centerpiece of After Dark. A multi-night FIFA tournament presented by Breakfast Cards, running all three evenings with a different hobby host powering each night.

 

Entering to compete or pulling up to watch and trade — either way, the bracket runs front and center while the lounge and trade tables stay open around it.

​

Entry is a paid registration, and spots are capped each night. Once a night fills, it's closed — so register early to claim your place in the bracket.
