The biggest sporting event in the world is kicking off in June at Met Life Stadium, and everyone gets to join in on the festivities.<\/p>\n
The FIFA World Cup is expected to bring thousands of fans to the tri-state area.<\/p>\n
For some students, the pitch is coming to them through the Soccer Streets program.<\/p>\n
The goal is for schools and children across New York City to be able to experience the World Cup.<\/p>\n
World Cup “czar” Maya Handa said the city is launching a soccer takeover at 50 schools, including P.S. 32 in Belmont, from Monday through June 26.<\/p>\n
A traveling field will roll up to the curb, close the road, and transform it into a soccer street for kids to play matches, practice skills and root for their classmates.<\/p>\n
The city is also hosting free fan zones in each borough with watch parties and experiences throughout the duration of the games.<\/p>\n
