This wasn’t a press conference, it was a private moment I caught. I just happened to be wandering around with my camera after the game when I spotted @mikedelbene, Executive Producer of the FIFA Fan Festival for Philadelphia Soccer 2026 (@fwc26philly), and @phillymayor walking the grounds. I figured I’d follow along. Thankfully security knows me, so I was able to capture this special moment as Michael and the Mayor personally thanked the volunteers who helped make the festival such a success.Thank You From All of Us in Philly!! ❤️I have to say, the volunteers, and everyone who worked security, from the gate to the stage throughout the festival was absolutely amazing. They were friendly, helpful, and professional, every time I went. The vendors were terrific, and so were the fans; one of my favorite parts was watching fans from opposing teams laughing, taking photos together, and celebrating the game. It was a reminder that sports really can bring people together.I’ve lived in Philadelphia for 36 years. I’ve seen the years when people said nothing ever happened here, and now we’ve just experienced a year where it felt like everything happened. It was one of the greatest moments I’ve witnessed in this city, and I’m so grateful to everyone who made it possible. Thank you for showing the world the best of Philadelphia. ❤️#philly #fifaworldcup2026 @signature57pr @grimmandgrove ❤️ by @metrophilly
