Joga Bonito Academy Announces NYCFC Player Experience for the 2026 Season

Big moments. Big stages. Core memories loading.

Joga Bonito Academy is excited to officially announce our NYCFC Player Experience for the 2026 MLS season, giving our players the opportunity to step onto the field at Yankee Stadium and be part of an unforgettable matchday experience.

This is more than just watching a game. It’s about feeling the energy, standing where the pros stand, and letting young players see exactly what’s possible.

What Is the NYCFC Player Experience?

Our NYCFC Player Experience allows Joga Bonito Academy players to take part in a pre-match on-field photo opportunity during a live Major League Soccer match. Players will be on the field before kickoff, surrounded by the stadium atmosphere, the crowd, and the excitement of matchday at one of the most iconic venues in sports.

It’s a once-in-a-lifetime moment that builds confidence, inspiration, and unforgettable memories.
