In 1988, FIFA granted the 1994 World Cup hosting duties to the United States. This decision was somewhat controversial given the fact that soccer was less popular in the US than in other countries vying to become the host. But from FIFA’s point of view, this was a great opportunity for the game of soccer to grow in popularity among Americans. And all things considered, the strategy worked. Two years later, the country launched Major League Soccer, the premier men’s soccer league in the States. As soccer has continued to grow in the decades since, the US is eager to co-host the 2026 World Cup with Mexico and Canada.
All 1994-S $1 World Cup Silver Commemorative Coins in this online listing have been designated Deep Cameo by the Professional Coin Grading Service. This means that the obverse and reverse have particularly strong frosted devices with striking contrast to the mirrored fields. Upon arrival, you will find your coin in a protective slab from PCGS that includes a label bearing the official grading information.
On the obverse of 1994-S World Cup Silver Commemorative Coins, there are two soccer players in action.
