We did it, New York!
On September 30th, the city that never sleeps woke up to something new, the official opening of the Visa Street Soccer Park and Bank of America Fields in Manhattan at Public School 007.
Beneath the skyline, the turf overflowed with the energy of young players, families, and fans, all celebrating a space built to bring people together through the world’s game.
Leading the celebration was USMNT legend Tim Howard, who reminded us what the beautiful game can mean when it’s rooted in access and community:
"The more opportunities we provide the better it is for our inner city communities around the country. The only reason I'm successful is because people gave me opportunities"
- Tim Howard
The Visa Street Soccer Park and Bank of America Fields and Learning Center at P.S. 007 was made possible thanks to the incredible support of our partners: Visa, Bank of America, UNIQLO, the Adam R. Scripps Foundation, The NYC Department of Education and Solais lighting. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, we’re marching toward 26 parks across 22 cities this year, creating lasting impact nationwide.
This park isn’t just a place to play, it’s proof that soccer belongs to everyone, everywhere, starting right here in the heart of NYC!
From the streets to the skyline, this is where goals begin!
