History

Historical Context

The 1994 FIFA World Cup, hosted by the United States from June 17 to July 17, marked a pivotal moment for soccer in America, attracting over 3.5 million fans. This event followed the U.S. bid to host the 1986 tournament, which was lost to Mexico. The tournament's success laid the groundwork for Major League Soccer's establishment in 1993 and the upcoming 2026 World Cup, further expanding soccer's presence in the U.S.
