"A key component of the sporty lineup is the NYC Neighborhood Passport program. Launched in partnership with Team Wonder, the passport will encourage people to scavenger-hunt their way through the outer-borough neighborhoods, diverse immigrant enclaves, cultural institutions, small businesses and community events that help make New York, well, New York. You'll be able to collect stamps, each designed by a New York City-based artist, from a wide variety of cultural and community organizations including the American Museum of Natural History, El Museo del Barrio, Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning, Prospect Park Alliance, Queens Botanical Garden and the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts, as well as at events like dance performances, film showings, block parties, and more."
"Shortly after the recent announcement from city and state officials about a massive lineup of giant fan zones, public watch parties and other free soccer-fueled events coming to NYC ahead of the games, the mayor's office is exclusively revealing to Time Out New York its planned programming and new tools that will get both longtime locals and visitors alike to explore the five boroughs throughout the World Cup series."
"Starting Thursday, June 11, the passports will be available for pick up at every library branch in all five boroughs as well as select World Cup events."
"In case you've been living under, uh, a football, you already know that the FIFA World Cup 2026 is officially coming to New York this summer, with eight high-stakes matches taking place at the nearby MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ, including the big finale match on Sunday, July 19."
Eight World Cup matches in 2026 will be held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, with the big finale on Sunday, July 19. New York City plans free fan zones, public watch parties, and other soccer-related events leading up to the games. A key initiative is the NYC Neighborhood Passport, created with Team Wonder, which encourages people to explore outer-borough neighborhoods, immigrant enclaves, cultural institutions, small businesses, and community events. Participants collect stamps designed by New York City-based artists from organizations such as the American Museum of Natural History, El Museo del Barrio, Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning, Prospect Park Alliance, Queens Botanical Garden, and the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts. Passports will be available for pickup starting June 11 at library branches across all five boroughs and at select World Cup events.
