Mamdani’s multi-borough NYC Open Play partnership scores big with Big Apple soccer fans

NYC Open Play, a citywide partnership with New York City FC, NYC Footy, NYC Parks and the Hudson River Park Trust gave thousands of New York sports fans a chance to hit the field during late-night hours with participation growing steadily throughout its six-week run.

“It was amazing. It was a success beyond what we could have imagined,” said Maya Handa, the city’s World Cup czar.
