About Boston

Boston is a showcase city where people from all over the world come together to live, work, and play. It is a city where everyone brings their own values and traditions to continually refine what it means to be a Bostonian.

Boston’s football tradition dates to the Oneida Football Club in the late 19th century, cited as one of the first football clubs established anywhere outside of England. The club had an impressive record, going undefeated for most of its seasons between 1862 and 1867.

Boston has played host to three FIFA championships: the 1994 FIFA World Cup USA™, and the FIFA Women’s World Cup™ in 1999 and 2003. It has teams in all the major professional sports: the New England Revolution (MLS), the New England Patriots (NFL), the Boston Celtics (NBA), the Boston Bruins (NHL), and perhaps the city’s greatest passion, the Boston Red Sox (MLB).
