NDTV: The 2026 World Cup final will be held at MetLife Stadium in New York/New Jersey, organisers FIFA announced on Sunday.
The New York bid held off a strong challenge from Dallas to secure the July 19 game, the culmination of the expanded 48-team tournament being co-hosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico.
The competition will kickoff with the opening game at Mexico City’s iconic Azteca Stadium on June 11. more
Unless pre-empted by WW3.
WTF is FIFA?
Will Taylor Swift be there?
90 minutes of boredom AND you get to New Jersey!

refuse/resist – You hit the FIFA ball out of the park!
The World Cup (it’s soccer, the local media said) will hold several (a lot or a little, don’t know or care) in Seattle in 2026. It’ll bring millions of tourist dollars (they all cheer)!
That means the homeless and the druggies and the car thieves have 2 years of freedom to continue their mayhem. Once ESPN arrives with their cameras, the streets will be swept and not a bad thing will be seen or reported, the Emerald City is as beautiful as ever!”

Soccer and field hockey were girls sports when I was in school in the 60’s and 70’s.
Get a picture of Jersey while you can because it will burn.
😴
*YAWN*
I’d be more likely to watch if they would hold it 500 miles east of New Jersey!
Let’s say it’s Honduras vs Nicaragua in the final: I predict 60-70 stabbings and 20-30 rapes in the cheap seats.
If it’s GB vs The Netherlands, those drunken hooligans will burn down the stadium.
If it’s Russia vs Ukraine, they’ll bring the war to New Jersey – it’ll be a bloodfest.
If it’s Congo vs New Guinea – separated heads all over the field.
Who gives a damn about Fútbol?
