Legends Stadium brings back memories
The 2026 World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico is the first final round with 48 participants. A total of 104 matches are scheduled for the tournament, 40 more than at the previous World Championships since 1998. Due to the high number of matches, the tournament also lasts longer than the previous events with a total of 39 days.
The finals of the 1970 and 1986 World Cups were held at the legendary Aztec Stadium in Mexico City. The 4:3 semi-final of the 1970 World Cup between Italy and Germany, which became known as the match of the century, was also played here. The arena will be renovated for the 2026 tournament. The NFL football teams New York Giants and New York Jets play their home games at MetLife Stadium. (SDA)
