Today, the world's attention turns to New Jersey for the 2026 FIFA
#WorldCup Final, played just miles from the World Trade Center.
Soccer has a unique ability to bring people together across cultures, languages, and borders. In the aftermath of September 11, that same global community came together through the game, offering support, raising funds, and creating moments of remembrance and resilience when they were needed most.
As the world celebrates the beautiful game, explore “The World's Game: Soccer and 9/11,” an exhibition examining how soccer became a powerful symbol of connection and hope after 9/11 and why that story still resonates today.
On view through August only at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. Access included in your
#911Museum ticket. Link in bio.
