The NYC Neighborhood Passport program launches today ahead of the FIFA World Cup.

The program encourages visitors to explore the city’s various immigrant communities, cultural institutions and small businesses during the tournament.

Participants will be able to collect stamps from hundreds of communities across all five boroughs. Passport pickups start on June 11 from every library branch.

In addition, the city is also launching a virtual map and events calendar for watch parties, restaurant deals and other World Cup events.
