The 1994 World Cup: When Soccer Came To America

The 1994 World Cup is arguably the reason soccer is popular in the United States today. Selected over Brazil and Morocco, the U.S. hosted a successful month-long event that broke attendance records leading to Brazil’s victory over Italy for the championship. Two years later, Major League Soccer was launched in the U.S. and the game’s popularity continues to grow.
