With the World Cup coming to North America in 2026, a number of cities were waiting on a decision to find out whether or not they would be granted an opportunity to host matches during the event.
On Thursday, FIFA announced the 11 U.S. cities that made that list, and Miami was on the list with games taking place at Hard Rock Stadium. Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Seattle will be hosting matches as well.
Each city has the chance to have as many as six games, however, we won’t know exactly how many Miami will get until next year.
The city is used to hosting high-profile soccer matches with clubs like FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United, as well as Brazil and Colombia’s national teams, all playing there in the past.
This will be a great opportunity to catch some of the world’s most popular sport being played at the highest level right in our own backyard.
