World Cup Legacies

The Lasting Impact of the Biggest Sporting Event for American Communities

Fans in Mexico jerseys watching a soccer game on an outdoor big screen
Scotland’s Tartan Army, Norwegian rowers across the land, the Dutch hopping their way left, right, and through America’s cities. International visitors crushing on Buc-ee’s, Target, and Chipotle. Did all that really happen this summer or was it all a surreal dream?
 
Join the Great Game Lab to relive this summer’s FIFA World Cup and to consider its lasting impact across America’s communities.
