Possible Cities for the 2026 World Cup Final: New York, Los Angeles, and Dallas

Less than three years separate us from a new World Cup, which will be special since for the first time three countries will host the largest soccer event on the planet, the United States, Canada and Mexico are preparing to organize what is expected to be one of the best World Cups in history.

One fact that is certain is that the United States will be the country that wins the entire final phase and of course the final of the tournament, however, the venue where the title game will be played has not yet been announced. This while the president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, has made some visits to the candidate cities.

However, according to the latest reports, especially from journalist Joe Pompliano, who announced in his podcast that FIFA is considering three cities as options for the 2026 World Cup.

These venues are New York (Metlife Stadium), Los Angeles (SoFi Stadium) and Dallas (AT&T Stadium), which meet most of the requirements or must receive some minor modifications in accordance with the FIFA statutes in order to receive the great and definitive match of the next World Cup.

They analyze possible disadvantages

According to Pompliano, one of the disadvantages that New York would have with Metlife Stadium would be that the stadium is open. which could represent some type of problem with the storms that occur in summer, in addition to the fact that the public transportation network is not so accessible to the stadium.

While SoFi Stadium, despite being one of the most spectacular buildings in the United States, has a capacity of 70,000 spectators, so by FIFA regulations it should increase the total number of seats to 80,000 and make the playing field larger. , in addition to the fact that due to the time difference the final should be played early around noon.

Thus, with the disadvantages of these two large venues, Joe Pompliano puts AT&T Stadium in Dallas as the candidate stadium to host the next World Cup final in 2026 due to its experience hosting large events, connectivity with everything at surroundings, being a closed stage and with sufficient capacity to comply with FIFA’s requests.
