MetLife Stadium: East Rutherford, New Jersey
It is one of the world’s most famous cities, so it seems inevitable that World Cup football should come to New York City. Or rather just outside it, over in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
For the second year in a row, MetLife Stadium will host a major FIFA final, having hosted the Club World Cup showpiece last July.
The 82,500-capacity ground was opened in 2010 and was built with adjustable stands so the field can meet FIFA regulations for football and although the regular surface is artificial turf, grass has been laid down in the past without issue.
While travel out to New Jersey could prove a bit of a headache for fans, there is no shortage of things to do in New York City for those based there.
And of course, for FIFA purposes the venue will be officially called New York New Jersey Stadium throughout this World Cup.
