GOAL’s signature summer soccer event is bringing laughs, football and plenty of fun in its final week of action
NEW YORK –House of GOAL is the place to be. Nowhere in North America has anyone put on a fully immersive experience like this. Soccer has always been about more than what happens on the field: fashion, music, culture, movies, TV, food, and the conversations that bring fans together
Until now, few have fully confronted that and brought it to a wider audience
House of GOAL is touching on everything: fashion, art, style, films, food, comedy, and the culture surrounding the beautiful game. Running from July 3 to the day of the World Cup final, July 19, the festival of soccer, held in Industry City, the beating heart of Brooklyn, is the perfect encapsulation of what the World Cup – and soccer at large – is all about. Oh yeah, and admission for daytime programming is totally free
The full schedule of House of GOAL events can be found here. Here’s a look at what can’t be missed in Week 2 of the event

BIG name guest: Trevor Noah
Right, let’s start with the biggest name of them all. Here at GOAL, we have this show calledThe Late Run, which stars NFL Hall of Famer Ochocinco and content creator extraordinaire Raheemovic. The two of them have interviewed a slew of celebs across the soccer, fashion, lifestyle, and comedy space over the past six months (with a wrestler or two thrown in the mix)
And this week, they probably have the biggest guest of them all. They will welcome global comedy megastar and former host ofThe Daily Show, Trevor Noah, to the stage. He is an avowed soccer fan who has spent all summer doing live watchalongs for the World Cup. And he will bring his usual banter to a special episodeon Wednesday evening at 7 p.m

Comedy: Mark Normand brings the laughs
Soccer doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Plenty, especially recently, have explored the crossover between soccer and comedy. This sport is funny, let’s be honest. And we like to show off why. Last week, legendary comedian Godfrey brought a range of laughs to House of GOAL, unveiling some of his original stuff while also riffing on the World Cup. It was fantastic
And this week it might be even better.Mark Normand, a regular on The Tonight Show and The Late Show, will take the stage in a double billalongside Fortune Feimster, a sharp writer and comedian who has spoken extensively about her love for the World Cup
