Confetti is blanketing Manhattan’s “Canyon of Heroes” as the U.S. women’s soccer team — fresh off their World Cup triumph — is feted by thousands of fans Friday morning.

Members of the women’s team waved from floats to the throngs of supporters screaming “USA! USA! USA!” The sounds of marching bands and bag pipe players saluted the women, too.

The festivities will end with a celebration at City Hall Park, where New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio will hand the soccer stars a key to the city.

The U.S. women trounced Japan in a 5-2 victory on Sunday — marking their first World Cup win since 1999. This will be the 205th ticker-tape parade in Manhattan — made even more special since it’s rarely done in honor of women.
