New York renames streets for Pelé and Henry
The city of New York honored football legend Pelé and French star Thierry Henry by temporarily naming two streets in the city after them. This coincided with the launch of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is hosted jointly by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, featuring 48 teams for the first time. The final will be held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, under the name New York New Jersey Stadium. To celebrate, the intersection of Shia Street and Meridian Road in Queens was named after Pelé, while West 50th Street and 6th Avenue were named after Thierry Henry. These names will remain until early November.
