Each of the five boroughs will host a free World Cup fan event during the summer’s soccer tournament, Mayor Mamdani and Gov. Hochul announced Monday.

“We want to do everything in our power to make it more affordable for fans to make those memories,” Mamdani said at a press conference announcing the events.

“These events were not initially set to be free, but the world’s game should belong to the world, and so we’ve made the decision together for fans to be able to watch that together without having to spend a dollar.”

Mamdani, who’s been an outspoken fan of the British club Arsenal, has repeatedly talked about the potential tourism boon the World Cup could mean for the city. The tournament is expected to bring more than a million fans to the area. The World Cup has not been held in the U.S. since 1994.

“New York isn’t just hosting the World Cup. New York is the World Cup,” Hochul said at the Staten Island press conference.

Queens: Billie Jean King National Tennis Centers from June 11 to June 27.

Manhattan: Rockefeller Center from July 6 to July 19

Brooklyn: Brooklyn Bridge Park from June 13 to July 19

Staten Island: Staten Island University Hospital Community Park from June 29 to July 2
