Organizers of the 2026 World Cup have called on football chiefs in Europe to bring competitive games to the United States.
Soccer is thriving in North America right now, with Lionel Messi joining Major League Soccer side Inter Miami three years out from the USA, Mexico and Canada hosting the World Cup.
The so-called ’39th’ Premier League game has been discussed before - sparking fury among many supporters - and UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin recently hinted that a Champions League final could one day be played in the US.
'I know that the clubs have not been wild about that in Europe but I’d love to think that it would happen,' said New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, a key figure in securing World Cup games in New York and New Jersey.
