Deets: New York City will hold a ticker tape parade this week to celebrate the United States’ win over the Netherlands in the Women’s World Cup, the mayor’s office said.
The U.S. beat the Netherlands 2-0 on Sunday afternoon, winning its fourth Women’s World Cup title.
In a tweet minutes after the team’s victory, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced there would be a parade Wednesday at the Canyon of Heroes, a stretch of Broadway in lower Manhattan where parades are held, to celebrate the victory.
“To our 2019 World Cup Champion @USWNT: you have inspired the entire country — and New York City knows how to celebrate champions,” de Blasio tweeted.
“We’ll see you Wednesday at 9:30 AM for the Ticker Tape Parade down the Canyon of Heroes," he added.
Hint for the Average Socialite: A limited number of tickets to attend a ceremony at City Hall will be available to the public. Registration opens at 2PM Monday.
