FIFA president Gianni Infantino sauntered down the sideline at AT&T Stadium on Sunday, then settled into the front row of a luxurious suite. He is not much of an American football fan; but Jerry Jones had invited him to the palatial home of the Dallas Cowboys, and it wasn't difficult to connect a few dots.
But, crucially, it’s the choice that best accommodates the 1 billion people who’ll watch around the globe. And whereas a World Cup opener is more about the destination — because it becomes a physical gathering place for the entire soccer world — the final is more about the spectacle that those 1 billion people see on TV.New York was the initial favorite, for obvious reasons. Way back in 2017, thethat MetLife would host the final, with semifinals in Dallas and Atlanta.
It’s an unlikely scenario, of course, but when there are other great options that are storm-proof, and that would protect players from summer heat, why take the risk? require one of the most significant adjustments to accommodate a World Cup field, which could even bring its capacity below the 80,000 benchmark that FIFA lists as a requirement for a men's World Cup final host.
