This Thursday, New York City FC, the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City, the U.S. Soccer Foundation, adidas, and Etihad Airways, founders of the New York City Soccer Initiative (NYCSI) will inaugurate the newest group of mini-soccer pitches across the five boroughs.
To celebrate the third year of NYCSI, the Club and its founding partners will be hosting the main ribbon-cutting community event with the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation at the new Flushing Meadows Corona Park pitch on October 10.
This year’s event will be headlined by a photo contest and on-site exhibition launched in collaboration with Goal Click, featuring photography that showcases street soccer culture on NYCSI mini-pitches across the City, as captured by local youth.
