LOS ANGELES — SoFi Stadium is less than three years old, yet it already has played host to a Super Bowl, a college football title game and WrestleMania. Taylor Swift has booked so many concerts there, she probably could register to vote in Inglewood.
But there's one prize the stadium could miss: the 2026 World Cup final.
FIFA is expected to announce in September the number of matches that will be played in each of the tournament's 16 host venues, and although SoFi was once considered a possible site for the championship game, it now appears a long shot behind MetLife Stadium in northern New Jersey and AT&T Stadium in suburban Dallas, which has emerged as the solid favorite.
