New York New Jersey Stadium to Host a Different Ball in 2026

It might still be a couple of years away, but the preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be well underway. The tournament will be co-hosted by Canada, Mexico and the United States in what will be the first expanded version of the tournament in its history. 48 teams will compete for the solid gold trophy, currently held by Argentina after they defeated France 4-2 on penalties in Qatar after the match finished 3-3. Whilst the U.S will host most of the matches, the New York New Jersey Stadium, better known as the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, has been chosen as the venue for the final.
