OK, so we got ourselves a Final. This is very good news, and not only because we'll get to see France's third star, err, I mean, a World Cup Final game. Just in global reach, we are talking about an event 10 times the Superbowl. The implications for local economies that will be touched by this massive event are tremendous, and not only in terms of tourism but in the Place Marketing arena. Governor Murphy has created a commission that is helping coordinate the massive effort that hosting this will involve. There are many things done from the Top Down, but... New Jersey, especially in Bergen, Hudson, Essex and Passaic counties, is essentially one big metropolitan area. 120 municipalities and 3 million people live within 20 minutes of the stadium. What are individual towns doing to get in on the action and grab a bit of this gigantic pie? Few global events can be as immersive and have the potential to offer memorable experiences, impossible to repeat. This is a once in a lifetime thing. Happy to learn what folks are involved in. #football #soccer #worldcup #newjerseybusiness #experienceeconomy #economicdevelopment

The Copa America is back! After eight years, the oldest national soccer championship in the world is returning to the United States. It will feature 10 South American countries and six countries in North and Central America and the Caribbean. Over the next weeks, fans from around the continent and the world will be able to watch soccer superstars such as Messi, Vinicius Junior, Valverde, Páez, and Pulisic, hoping to win the cup in the final match to be played in Miami. While soccer is still considered a sport that appeals more to Latin American and European audiences, American viewership has steadily grown in the past decade. A recent Gallup poll found that 31% of Americans identify as soccer fans- an all-time high. A different survey showed that soccer emerged as the U.S.'s fourth-favorite sport, close to baseball and basketball, which were placed in the top two and three, respectively. Lionel Messi's move to Inter Miami has significantly impacted the sport's popularity in the U.S., turning their games into major events and igniting "Messi Mania" nationwide. What would the economic impact be? The previous edition of the Copa America in the U.S. was highly profitable. Nearly 1.5 million fans attended the Copa America Centenario games at ten venues in the U.S., where average crowds totaled more than 46,000 fans per game – a record high in the tournament history. Projections suggest that each host city could earn around $30 to $50 million in revenue this year, and the attendance could surpass 2 million fans. Additionally, the tournament's viewership could potentially triple its reach due to the expectation to watch some of the matches around the globe. An exciting month lies ahead for the U.S. and the whole continent. The Copa America represents an exciting vehicle for investment and brand positioning (think of all the collateral events during the tournament), and it will be an excellent test of what to expect for the entire global championship in the next two years: the FIFA World Cup 2026. Welcome, Copa America! We're so ready for some fútbol! #WeAreConquista #CopaAmerica #Soccer #Sports #Industry #Business #Futbol #Messi #InterMiami #Investment #Brands #USA

"Sportsmanship is not just about the game; it is about how the game is played." Sportsmanship is essential because it encourages respect for players, officials, and rival teams, as well as fair play and character development. It improves cooperation, adds enjoyment to the game, and teaches how to accept success and failure with poise. Beyond athletics, it fosters positive behaviour, acts as an example for others, and deepens ties throughout the community. In the end, sportsmanship preserves the integrity of athletics and fosters an accepting society. One of the best instances of sportsmanship will be the one that follows.  In an exciting final of the Olympic high jump, 2.37-meter clearers Mutaz Essa Barshim of Qatar and Gianmarco Tamberi of Italy shared the gold medal. Instead of jumping off, the participants made the historic choice to share the championship, which led to the first-ever joint Olympic podium in athletics since 1912. The fact that both had recovered from severe injuries sustained during their careers made the victory all the more significant. Both received gold medals. one of the greatest ever Olympic moments. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking
