The world’s biggest game needs to be played on the world’s biggest stage said New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who along with New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy are making a pitch to land the 2026 World Cup Final.
The United States, Canada and Mexico will co-host the global soccer showcase in three years and the big prize still up for grabs is the venue for the final match.
Dallas and Houston along with Miami are expected to throw their hats in the ring while Los Angeles and its futuristic $5.5 billion SoFi Stadium appears to be the early front-runner along with New York/New Jersey.
But during a call with Reuters, Adams and Murphy made it clear that, as they see it, there is only one choice.
“The biggest game should be played on the biggest stage and there is no stage bigger on the globe than this region,” Adams told Reuters.
