“Football arrives in the USA”


The 1994 World Cup was an epoch-making moment in the history of soccer in the United States, with the tournament being hosted for the first time on North American soil. The event set an unprecedented attendance record of 3.58 million passionate fans, becoming the most-attended World Cup ever. The US national team's spirited display sparked a newfound interest in the sport, paving the way for the creation of the Major League Soccer (MLS) in 1996. Since then, the MLS has grown into a thriving professional league, boasting 29 teams nationwide. Undoubtedly, the 1994 World Cup served as a watershed moment for soccer's ascension to mainstream prominence in the US.
