KERA News
When the World Comes to Texas
The world’s biggest sporting event is coming to North Texas and suddenly, it’s not just about soccer, it’s about us. The crowds, the cultures, the watch parties, the economy, the traffic -- how do you plug in and why does it matter? When the World Comes to Texas is KERA News’ limited-series podcast that follows this spectacle coming to our backyard. In quick, 15-20 minute episodes, we move from curiosity to connection. We’ll explore how to join the excitement (even if you don’t follow the game), the traditions of teams arriving from around the world, the surprising history behind “soccer” and what this moment could change for the future of the sport in the U.S. It’s a smart, local and human look at what happens when the world shows up at our doorstep.
