Description
In 2026 North America is set to host the prestigious World Cup matches across 3 countries, 16 cities. You know what the means? MONEY. Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner break down the insane numbers behind ensuring every city meets FIFA requirements to host the games. Lastly, we sit down with a fellow World Cup athlete herself, Danielle Slaton. We dive into the evolution of the women's game here in the U.S., the pathway to today's current National Women's Soccer League, and ultimately her co-founding NWSL's newest expansion team, Bay FC -- which Andre is a minority stakeholder in!
