T20 World Cup 2024: Dallas, Florida, New York confirmed as venues

International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed Dallas, Florida and New York in the USA as three venues for the T20 World Cup next year. The tournament will be co-hosted by USA and West Indies.

USA will host a T20 World Cup for the first time with Grand Prairie in Dallas, Broward County in Florida and Nassau County in New York chosen as the venues.

USA and West Indies were selected as co-hosts for the global tournament in November 2021. The process for selection of venues in USA has been riddled with uncertainty and concern over lack of facilities. After much deliberation, the venues have been selected.

Pop-up stadiums will be installed to increase facilities and capacities at these venues. All three venues will witness modular facilities being installed. Eisenhower Park a purpose-built sports and events park in Nassau County, New York, is required to construct a 34,000-seater modular stadium.

Similarly, Grand Prairie and Broward County will see modular stadium solutions installed to expand seating, media and premium hospitality areas.

“We’re delighted to announce the three USA venues that will host part of the biggest ICC Men’s T20 World Cup ever staged, with 20 teams competing for the trophy. The USA is a strategically important market and these venues give us an excellent opportunity to make a statement in the world’s biggest sport market,” said ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice.

Additionally, other potential venues have been identified for pre-event matches and training. These include George Mason University in Washington, which is the home for Major League Cricket (MLC) team Washington Freedom.
