MetLife Stadium in New Jersey will host the 2026 World Cup final on 19 July, while Azteca Stadium in Mexico City will stage the opening group game on 11 June.

Mexico is one of three countries co-hosting the expanded 48-team tournament along with USA and Canada which will last a record 39 days.

They have hosted two World Cups in 1970 and 1986, while the US hosted in 1994.

Canada are first-time hosts and their opening game is in Toronto on 12 June.

The United States will play their opening match at So-Fi Stadium in Los Angeles also on 12 June

The Azteca was the venue for Argentina striker Diego Maradona's famous 'Hand of God' goal in the 2-1 win against England in the 1986 quarter-finals and has a capacity of 83,000.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Same. But I want to go so bad. I hope we do not have to re-finance our house for the price of tickets.

It is pretty much the same distance as London to Zurich, no Channel to worry about.

 

I do remember going to Kansas once and it was so hot had to stop and put up the roof and turn on the air conditioning.

Didn't realize London to Zurich were so close.  We did a drive once across Kansas and may do it again this year, it wasn't too bad, good roads, low traffic density, etc., but yes it will take a few hours.
