History

Historical Context

After FIFA awarded the United States the 1994 World Cup on July 4 1988, the tournament set a still-unmatched attendance record of 3,587,538 spectators between June 17 and July 17 1994, proving soccer’s commercial viability in the Anglosphere. That success underpins expectations for the 2026 Group C matches—Brazil, Morocco and Scotland at Gillette Stadium and Boston—where high-priced tickets are projected to boost tourism.
