There is no doubt that the current Copa América is a significant test for the United States as it seeks to host another World Cup. The last World Cup held in the USA was in 1994, but this time it will be shared with Canada and Mexico.
However, stadiums in the US are primarily designed for American football. As a result, they are much more restricted than usual and are at the regulatory limit. Unlike those used in the World Cup, they are FOUR meters narrower, resulting in more than 400 square meters less playing area.
The worst news is that many locations cannot be expanded. For example, Arrowhead Stadium, where the United States played Uruguay yesterday, presented a very worrying image.
The most significant test comes from the Exploria Stadium in Orlando, which was resized during this Copa América to match other stadiums that cannot be expanded. This photo highlights the difference by showing the lines that have been erased.
Do you think this will affect the game at the next World Cup?
