FIFA Arena
A free mini-pitch open throughout the World Cup—right in the heart of the Park.
The Central Park Conservancy has cared for these 843 acres since 1980, and we are proud to welcome the world here this summer.
From June 10 through July 18, Central Park is home to FIFA Arena: a temporary soccer pitch installed by FIFA and operated by Street Soccer USA. Free and open to the public, it's a place to play, learn, and experience the excitement of the World Cup.
The pitch offers free youth clinics, community tournaments, and open-play sessions for New Yorkers of all ages and skill levels. No tickets, no cost—just the game.
