The 19-year-old man was attacked just before 9pm on Friday, August 1 in a car park at a Powerleague football complex, according to Greater Manchester Police.
He sustained several stab wounds and later died from his injuries, the force said.
His family are being supported by specially trained officers.
No arrests have yet been made in what police believe was a “targeted attack” and officers have appealed for any witnesses to contact them.
A Powerleague spokesperson wrote on Facebook: “Due to unforeseen circumstances the Bury club will be closed today.”
Detective Chief Inspector John Charlton, from the Major Incident Team, said: “Firstly, our thoughts are with the victim’s family and friends after this tragic and upsetting incident – our specially trained officers are supporting them at this difficult time.
“This incident will have shocked the community and distressed anyone who witnessed it, but we believe this was a targeted attack with no wider threat.
“We have several scenes in place with the investigation ongoing in order to identify and apprehend the offenders responsible.
“There will be officers in the area today and in the coming days as we are determined to bring the family the answers they deserve.”
