As part of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the Goethe-Institut USA is organizing interactive soccer camps at selected schools in the United States.

The camps are part of the Goethe-Institut USA's educational campaign for the 2026 World Cup. They combine sports, language, and intercultural exchange, creating new approaches to German culture in the context of a global sporting event.

Learning German on the soccer field

Two professional, German-speaking coaches from our partner organization Auf Ballhöhe lead the camps. They combine sports activities with practical language exercises. Training on the field and language reflection in the classroom complement each other perfectly. The camps are based on a specially developed curriculum with accompanying teaching materials from the Goethe-Institut.

The soccer camps use sports as a bridge for motivation, encounters, and intercultural exchange.
