Soccer in America: Why is it so popular, and how can its growth be ensured?

In the final segment of his five-part capstone project, Christopher Williams combines research and interviews with fans, journalists, marketers, professors, and content creators to answer the following the questions: why is soccer only just becoming so popular in the United States, and what can Americans do to continue to develop the country's passion for it? With insight from renowned American soccer journalist Grant Wahl, Emerson College sports communication professor Chris Toronyi, and avid soccer supports, Williams analyzes the impact exposure has had on soccer's popularity and how U.S. soccer can benefit from grassroots community relations, fan clubs, and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
