NYC’s Argentine Diaspora Finds Joy and Refuge in the World Cup
The 2026 World Cup is unfolding during a moment of compounding pressures for Argentine immigrants in New York City: economic crisis under a far-right government at home, fears of a looming recession in the U.S., and an immigration crackdown that has made even watch parties feel risky.
But to the Argentine fandom, a World Cup win represents the possibility of collective hope and joy during a difficult time.
What We Do
We are a news outlet and journalism training organization for immigrant voices. We produce podcasts and digital news stories and offer fellowships and workshops to help immigrant journalists reach new audiences, improve their skills, and advance their careers.
Our work brings positive and meaningful change to America’s newsrooms and has a broader impact on how immigration is reported, how journalism is taught at colleges and universities, and the ethnic and racial composition of news organizations.
The Feet in 2 Worlds network includes hundreds of journalists across the U.S. and around the world who have participated in our programs. Collectively, these journalists reach millions of readers and listeners with stories from immigrant communities.
