IN ASSOCIATION WITH
Each spring, dozens of teams and hundreds of players from all walks of the media and creative business, from New York City and all points internationally, take the pitch at Brookyn Bridge Park’s Pier 5 for a full day of spirited five-a-side competition—with one team in each of three divisions walking away with the trophy. In the media capital of the world and a rising global hub for the sport, NYFEST year after year vibrantly illustrates the deep connection between soccer and the creative community.
