America’s World Cup: Beyond the Game | My America
The FIFA World Cup returns to the United States for the first time in 32 years. In this episode of My America, TRT World’s Eren Doguoglu travels from the East Coast to the West Coast, exploring America’s evolving soccer culture, from the Scottish Tartan Army in Kearny, New Jersey, to immigrant communities helping drive the game’s growth and a Brooklyn FC match showcasing the sport’s expanding footprint.
