Digital Desk: The International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed on Wednesday that the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 will be held in Dallas, Florida, and New York.
For the first time, the tournament will be held in the United States at Grand Prairie, Dallas, Broward County, Florida, and Nassau County, New York.
The ICC Board of Directors chose the West Indies and the United States to host the event in November 2021. The locations were chosen after a thorough analysis of numerous alternatives.
An agreement has been put for the construction of a 34,000-seat modular stadium in Eisenhower Park, a purpose-built sports and events park in Nassau County, New York, upon the awarding of the required permission next month.
"We're delighted to announce the three USA venues that will host part of the largest ICC Men's T20 World Cup ever staged, with 20 teams competing for the trophy," said ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice. "The United States is a strategically vital market for us, and these stadiums provide us with a fantastic opportunity to make a statement in the world's largest sports market," he added.
"We are very excited about the opportunity to use modular stadium technology to present world-class cricket in a location that has not previously hosted an ICC global event, providing USA cricket fans with the opportunity to watch the world's best on their doorstep," stated ICC Chief Executive.
"This technology has previously been used to enhance venue capacity at prior ICC events, and it is widely employed in other major sports around the world. In the United States, it will allow us to expand the scale of our venues in Dallas and Florida, as well as build a spectacular arena in New York," he added.
The current venues in Grand Prairie and Broward County will be enlarged using modular stadium systems to increase seats, media, and premium hospitality sections, subject to final agreement.
