This is because humans crave communication. As one of the host countries for World Cup 2026, it's important for Americans to acquire some fluency with the unique ‘language’ and non-verbal customs around international football (mostly Americans call it soccer). Please join us as we design and construct replicas of national team kits using basic origami. Also, view a private collection of vintage kits from previous World Cup tournaments. And feel welcome to wear the kit of your favorite national or club team. Who knows, a spontaneous of game of 'keepy-uppy' might commence on the lawn!
