Now outside of the Edgar Middle School entrance, a token of the memorable 2026 FIFA World Cup has now found a permanent home for years to come. A sculpture built by the artist Matthew Day Jackson is now standing just outside of the newly renovated turf field. Meg Suchan, a member of the Metuchen Arts Council, helped bring this project to fruition. The state of New Jersey, especially MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, hosted the highly anticipated battle of the World Cup final, in which Spain took down Argentina in front of 66.4 million viewers worldwide. Because of this, a program called “The Art of the Game” decided to create 23 sculptures across the tri-state area in honor of this cherished event. The sculptures were placed all throughout the region, in multifacets, museums, parks, and other public places for soccer fans to enjoy.
