The Chicago Public Library shared a social post celebrating the first day of the FIFA World Cup by revisiting the 1994 tournament in Chicago.

The post highlights several 1994 World Cup matches shown in library photos, including Germany vs. Bolivia, Germany vs. Spain, Bulgaria vs. Greece, and Bolivia vs. Spain. It also mentions Diana Ross performing and Soldier Field filled with fans.

The library said the photos cover multiple dates in June 1994, referencing images connected to matches such as Germany vs. Bolivia (June 17, 1994), Bulgaria vs. Greece (June 26, 1994), and Bolivia vs. Spain (June 27, 1994). The post also references World Cup event dates of June 21-23, 1994 and a Germany vs. Spain game on June 21, 1994.

The post encourages readers to “shout out” their teams in the comments and directs people to learn more about “Summer at CPL,” describing it as a chapter dedicated to Chicago sports. The library linked to chi.gov/summeratcpl.
