The Maracana, Wembley and the Azteca are among the iconic stadiums to have played host to football’s biggest match: The World Cup final.

Just 20 venues have had the honour of providing the stage for final, with the Maracana and the Azteca doing so on two occasions.

On Sunday, FIFA confirmed the AT&T Stadium in Dallas will become the 21st, staging the finale of the 104 match tournament co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The venue emerged as the winner in a two-way battle against the MetLife Stadium in New York.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino had lauded the stadium when he visited back in September, appearing to hint that the venue was set to be chosen.
