New York City Introduces 'Neighborhood Passport' to Engage Fans During FIFA World Cup
New York City has launched a 'neighborhood passport' initiative to encourage both residents and visitors to explore the city's diverse neighborhoods during the FIFA World Cup. Announced by Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the program aims to highlight immigrant communities and cultural institutions across the five boroughs. Participants can collect stamps from various community organizations and public events, with each stamp designed by NYC-based artists representing countries participating in the World Cup. The initiative also includes a new calendar and interactive digital map by NYC Tourism + Conventions to help users find low-cost events and activities. The passports will be available at public libraries starting June 11, and the program will feature events such as dance performances, art exhibits, and block parties.
