January 28, 2010 – The soccer ball is rolling in New Meadowlands Stadium, as the future home of the New York Jets and New York Giants today announced it will host the first international sporting event between the Mexican National Team and the Ecuadorian National Team on May 7, 2010, allowing the early road to South Africa and the 2010 World Cup to pass through the New York/New Jersey region.
As the team prepares for participation in its 14th FIFA World Cup this summer, Mexico will play in six cities across the country between February 24 and May 13, 2010, including the highly anticipated stop at New Meadowlands Stadium on May 7, 2010, with a 9 PM EST kickoff time. The announcement comes on the heels of the Stadium being named one of the 18 potential host sites in U.S. Soccer’s current bid to bring the World Cup to the United States in 2018 or 2022.
