To celebrate the opening of the next 10 New York City Soccer Initiative mini-soccer pitches, New York City FC (NYCFC) and partners (the Mayor’s Fund to Advance NYC, the U.S. Soccer Foundation, adidas and Etihad Airways) will be hosting an unprecedented ‘Soccer Day’ throughout the five boroughs of New York City on Monday, October 15.
Launched in 2016, New York City Soccer Initiative is a first-of-its-kind $3 million public-private partnership to build and maintain 50 soccer pitches in underserved NYC neighborhoods in just five years, and provide free programming for New York City School children, focused on healthy, active living, and mentorship.
