Inside New York Hosting the World Cup Final

With just 100 days until kickoff, Alex Lasry — CEO of the New York/New Jersey Host Committee for the 2026 FIFA World Cup — joins Front Office Sports to break down exactly how one of the most ambitious sporting events in history comes together.

From transportation logistics and federal security funding concerns, to reimagining fan experiences across all five NYC boroughs and the full state of New Jersey, Lasry pulls back the curtain on what it takes to host the World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium.

Plus — his candid thoughts on Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future in Milwaukee, the NBA’s global expansion ambitions, and why sports remains one of the hottest investment categories in the world right now.

Matt Iseman takes viewers beyond the scoreboard, inside the deals, and face-to-face with the personalities shaping sports.
