History

Historical Context

In 1994 the United States hosted the FIFA World Cup, with the knockout stage running from July 2 to July 17, the first tournament televised live nationwide and creating a commercial model. That model led to expanded media rights and betting ties, now evident in the 2026 World Cup co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, including the group match at Lincoln Financial Field.
