Every World Cup Team Is a Home Team in the U.S.

July 1, 2026 · 10:46 am ET · Leave a Comment

New York Times: “It’s a scene that has been echoed across the United States — in a multitude of languages and colors, as soccer fans from all over the world, many now making their homes in America, have packed bars, restaurants, living rooms and concert venues.”

“No matter where they came from or where they gathered, they all sought the same experience: a chance to watch their nations compete while surrounded by others who share passion and pride for the country they or their ancestors once called home.”

“Together, these fans have brought places throughout the United States to life.”
