NEW YORK CITY’s WORLD CUP COMMUNITY LEGACY PLATFORM
26 for 26 is New York City’s community legacy platform, architected by City in the Community (CITC), in collaboration with the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City. It expands the New York City Soccer Initiative (NYCSI) into a citywide framework to align partners, avoid fragmentation, and deliver measurable outcomes during the tournament and beyond.
