There are just over 60 days until the men’s FIFA World Cup hits the shores of North America, but NJ/NY Gotham FC’s Midge Purce is already getting to work on plans to highlight the New York/New Jersey area as a host city.
“I’ve gotten the question of how does it feel to live in one of the host cities, but I’m living in the host city—this is where the final is, right in our backyard,” Purce says. “I understand the historical significance of this, and I know I’ll be telling my grandchildren that I lived in New York the year the World Cup final was at MetLife [Stadium] and I was there.”
