While the World Cup is now a distant memory, its effects on Philadelphia continue to reverberate. Philadelphia hosted six FIFA World Cup matches and welcomed tens of thousands to the city's free FIFA Fan Festival at Lemon Hill during the tournament. Philadelphia also takes the crown for the largest single-day FIFA Fan Festival crowd of any U.S. host city. Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker is heralding the World Cup as a significant success following a sizeable investment from the city. More than 500 jobs were created across staffing, security, transportation, hospitality, and food/beverage services in connection with World Cup activities.
