koreaherald.comNew Jersey and New York City will host eight World Cup matches at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, which FIFA required to drop its corporate name for the tournament. The stadium was renamed NYNJ Stadium. The final match is scheduled for July 19 at the venue.
The North America World Cup bid in 2018 referred to MetLife Stadium as the stadium for the “New York/New Jersey” host city.
