Salam guys, this is the moment. Morocco opens the World Cup against Brazil.
No match ticket? Doesn't matter. The Diaspora is here.
The biggest gathering of our diaspora in a generation. And we picked the most beautiful spot in NYC to watch it together: Brooklyn Bridge Park, with the Manhattan skyline behind us and the Atlas Lions in front of us.
This is GM's anchor venue for the entire tournament: same place every Morocco match day, June through July. Show up once, find your people, and they're your watch party crew through the knockouts and the Final.

Why we picked here:
🌉 The skyline view: Manhattan across the East River, golden hour during kickoff, drone-worthy on a phone camera
🆓 Completely free: paid watch parties around the city are charging cover and drink minimums. We don't roll like that.
🎬 The press is coming: BBC and our own GM filmmaker. You'll be in some of the year's most shared diaspora footage.
🚇 Easy reach: F train to York St, A/C to High St, 2/3 to Clark St, ferry to DUMBO
👨👩👧 Family-friendly: kids, cousins, l'3am, l'khala: bring everyone
🦁 Same crew, every match: group stage, knockouts, all the way to the Final inshallah. One venue, one community.
🎟️ Two steps to lock in your spot:

2️⃣ Stand by for FIFA registration: the Brooklyn fan zone is FREE but requires advance registration via the NY/NJ Host Committee. Registration isn't open yet: we'll drop the link in the GM Atlas Lions Watch Parties WhatsApp group the moment it goes live, and notify everyone who RSVPs here.
