Dear Fellow New Yorker,
June was National Caribbean American Heritage month, and this past week, Mayor Adams hosted a Caribbean-American Heritage reception to acknowledge and thank Caribbean-American New Yorkers for the many contributions they make to enrich our city.
June was also LGBTQ+ Pride Month. Mayor Adams marched in New York City’s Pride Parade to mark the culmination of Pride Month. It was wonderful to march in the world’s largest and oldest LGBTQ+ Pride march to reaffirm our commitment to equality for all.
Mayor Adams hosted a roundtable meeting with African American community leaders from Staten Island. It was an opportunity to meet with community leaders to discuss ways we can continue serving our city together. Have a happy and safe Fourth of July!
For the latest updates, please follow CAU on Twitter and Facebook, and be sure to check out the Mayor's "Week In Review" video below.
All the best, Fred Kreizman Commissioner, Community Affairs Unit Office of the Mayor |

FIFA Club World Cup 2025 The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 is already underway, and New York/New Jersey is playing a historic role in hosting some of the tournament’s most prestigious matches.
This is a global celebration of football — and a moment for our region to shine on the world stage.
With over one million visitors expected, billions in economic benefit projected, and a spotlight on NY/NJ as the home of the tournament’s final stages, this is more than just a sports event — it’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity for our city and our communities.
Economic Impact The FIFA Club World Cup and FIFA World Cup are two of the most powerful economic drivers in global sports. Together, they are expected to bring in nearly $48 billion in economic output across the US— with NYC at the center of the action. The Club World Cup 2025 is expected to generate $17.1 billion in U.S. Economic output, create 105,000 jobs, and bring in $1.9 billion in tax revenue.
The World Cup 2026 will add an estimated $30.5 billion to the U.S. economy, create 185,000 jobs, and bring in $5.3 billion in tax revenue. These events are high-return investments— every $1 spent yields over $4 in economic and social value. These numbers tell the story: The games are already putting money in pockets, filling hotel rooms, and creating momentum for long-term growth in host cities like ours.
NY/NJ Matches NY/NJ is thrilled to host nine matches during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, including:
One Quarter-final matchup (July 5th, 2025) Both Semi-final matches (July 8th and July 9th, 2025)
The highly anticipated Final match (July 13th, 2025)
These matches provide unique opportunities for our communities to experience global football excellence firsthand and contribute directly to our city’s vibrant economy and culture. |
