The competition, which despite being a few years away is already stimulating fans' imagination, will take place in 3 countries. As many as 48 national teams will take part, and one of the host cities, among others, has been chosen as East Rutherford in New Jersey.

In addition to the USA, the world's best teams will be hosted by Canada and Mexico. A total of 16 stadiums will be involved, and one of them has been chosen to be MetLife Stadium. The world's biggest sporting event is coming to the biggest stage in the world, and New York is looking forward to welcoming the world to our region. We are thrilled to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup, bringing the excitement here in the city that never sleeps! - New York City Mayor Eric Adams said. Sociologists predict a sharp increase in interest in the city from the public and residents of the surrounding regions.

Also gambling and casinos attract a wide variety of audiences in the US, where people looking for online casinos in New Jersey are ready to take a chance and try their luck. MetLife Stadium welcomes two million visitors a year and there are five airports serving 181 countries in the New York/New Jersey region. In addition, more hotels are currently being built in the area than any other candidate city. As the entertainment, tourism and media capital of the world, there are many opportunities for New York/New Jersey to organize and host impressive events during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Although formally in public hands, MetLife Stadium was financed with money from its two tenants, the NFL teams Giants and Jets. It stood adjacent to the 30-year-old Giants Stadium, which was demolished when the new facility opened. Construction took 2.5 years and resulted in the largest NFL stadium and also the most expensive in history by that time ($1.6 bn in 2010).

As the facility is used by two clubs at the same time and everything is shared 50/50, the facility benefited from the solution known from the Allianz Arena, without taking on the colors of either club. On match day, however, the facades of the aluminum louvers are illuminated from inside, clearly indicating the host of the match.

In addition to matches played at MetLife Stadium, New York/New Jersey will host FIFA Fan Fest sites around the region. Such a stir immediately caused a fuss among fans of gambling, who are studying the bonuses list by NJCasimile and choosing profitable strategies. The proposed training facilities are at Rutgers University, The Pingry School, Kean University, Red Bull Football Club Training Facility, and the New York City Football Club Training Facility.

The U.S. last hosted the men’s World Cup in 1994, when Giants Stadium played host to seven games, including a quarterfinal and semifinal match. Giants Stadium also hosted the opening match for the women’s World Cup in 1999.
