The Postal Service will release its North American Soccer stamp on Thursday, May 28.

The stamp celebrates the history and growth of soccer in the United States as the nation prepares to co-host the 2026 FIFA World Cup, along with Canada and Mexico.

The tournament begins June 11 and concludes July 19.

The artwork features an illustration of a player striking a volley above the famous “Gooooal!” call used by commentators and fans to express excitement.

The stamp was designed by Antonio Alcalá, an art director for USPS, who also designed the Women’s Soccer stamp in 2023.

A dedication ceremony will take place at the Boston 2026 World Exposition stamp show.

The Forever stamps will be available in sheets of 20 at Post Offices and at usps.com.
