Q&A

New York City Council · Sep 30, 2026 · starts 0:32:30 · 1 min

Maloney asks for the total number of out-of-state visitors and how many attended matches versus free events. Kreamer says there were about 1.134 million visitors, with 508,000 attending matches and 626,000 attending official World Cup events.

Virginia Maloney

Thank you.

Virginia Maloney

On the visitors, the total number of out-of-state visitors, if you could remind me.

Justin Kreamer

Yeah, the total of visitors was roughly 1.1.

Justin Kreamer

Let's see here.

Justin Kreamer

1.134 million.

Virginia Maloney

And do we have a sense of whether or not those visitors were actually attending the cup or going to the free events and how that shook out?

Justin Kreamer

Yeah, so the breakout was those who attended the matches, 508,000 people from outside the region attended the matches.

Justin Kreamer

And then there was another 626,000 who attended events within the city that were official World Cup events.

Virginia Maloney

So roughly 50-50.

Justin Kreamer

Yeah.

Virginia Maloney

For those of us looking for simple numbers.
