New York to build first soccer specific stadium

Wednesday 12th May 2021

The city of New York is to get its first soccer specific stadium - but it is being built by Queensboro FC, not New York City FC.

Queensboro will join the USL Championship in 2022 as a new expansion side and have announced plans to build a new stadium. The new ground will be built in partnership with the City University of New York and will open with an initial capacity of 7,500.

MLS side New York City FC are still without a permanent home, playing their games at Yankee Stadium and Red Bull Arena, home of rivals New York Red Bulls.
