What's Happening?
KidSuper, led by Colm Dillane, is set to open a rooftop soccer field in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Dillane, who has a background in professional soccer, has long envisioned this project since leasing the 10,000-square-foot building that serves as KidSuper's headquarters. The field, located on the roof of KidSuper World, is part of a larger cultural hub that includes an art gallery and studio. The project was realized with the support of partners Puma, Jameson Irish Whiskey, and Hublot. The field will host KidSuper's soccer team, weekend leagues, and be available for neighborhood children.

Why It's Important?
The opening of the rooftop soccer field represents a significant cultural and community development in Brooklyn. It highlights the intersection of sports and fashion, with KidSuper leveraging its partnerships to create a unique space that promotes soccer in an urban environment. This initiative could enhance community engagement and provide new recreational opportunities for local youth, fostering a sense of community and encouraging physical activity.
What's Next?
The grand opening of the KidSuper Football Pitch is scheduled for July 31. The field is expected to host various soccer events and activations, particularly with the upcoming World Cup partially taking place in the U.S. next year. This could lead to increased visibility and engagement for KidSuper and its partners, potentially influencing future collaborations and community projects.
