History

Historical Context

The United States won the 1994 FIFA World Cup bid on July 4 1988, using existing NFL stadiums for 24 teams and showing how a global tournament can occupy American football venues. The same pattern reappears with the 2026 joint North-American tournament, forcing the New York Giants to move camp and adjust logistics at MetLife Stadium, showing how soccer events repeatedly reshape NFL planning.
