NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York/New Jersey stepped up their bid to host the final of the 2026 World Cup by promising a spectacle on par with 'eight Super Bowls' at a launch event on Thursday for the tournament which will be co-hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino gave no indication as to which of the host cities across the three countries would stage the finale when the venues were announced last year. "We want to host the final. There is no better place to host the final than at MetLife Stadium," said retired NFL hero Michael Strahan, who made his name with the New York Giants but has now fallen in love with soccer.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, who was joined at the Times Square launch by New York Mayor Eric Adams, promised a spectacle beyond what the region has ever seen before.
