Boston loves its champions. With 39 titles across baseball, football, basketball, and hockey, this city is sports-obsessed. Come 2026, this will surely spill over as a passion roaring just as loud for the World Cup’s soccer stars.
The New England Revolution’s arrival in the 1990s was one of the catalysts that sparked a local soccer boom. But Boston also is home to major Irish, Italian, Brazilian, and other expat communities with deep roots in the sport. This city has always had an undercurrent of support for global football.
