All together, these five FIFA World Cup 2026 ™ Fan Events in New York City will be one of the largest free fan events in the country. Staten Island University Hospital Community Park, where the announcement took place, received a new LED scoreboard, funded through the Economic Development Corporation and a donation from the FIFA New York New Jersey Host Committee.
