    It may not be the Olympic games in Paris, but hey — Manhattan is getting its own new sports hotspot.

    Socceroof is bringing its indoor soccer action to a downtown office building, scoring 20,000 square feet at Fosun Hive’s 28 Liberty St., according to Crain’s.

    The swanky new venue will feature multiple five-sided soccer fields, and offer leagues and lessons for kids and adults.

    This marks Socceroof’s first Manhattan location, adding to its lineup in Sunset Park, Crown Heights, Long Island City, New Rochelle and, in Canada, Montreal.

    Socceroof will be part of the massive 200,000 square feet of retail space at the base of the 60-story, 2.5-million-square-foot property.

    They’ll share the floor with Court 16, a 13,000-square-foot pickleball and tennis club. Newmark’s Jordan Gosin brokered the deal for Socceroof — while Jeffrey Roseman, Ross Kaplan and Drew Weiss repped the landlord.

    Manhattan’s office market is still rebounding from the pandemic, and Lower Manhattan has taken a bigger hit than Midtown.

    The area’s availability rate was 20.4% in the second quarter, with average asking rents at $57.08 per square foot, according to Colliers.
