Denver maybe so set to enjoy World Cup football as the Broncos Stadium is close to completion of a major revision work. For the best part of the last two decades, this Broncos Stadium in Denver has been eliminated by highly inefficient bulbs that require a lot of time to power up. Now, the stadium has undergone a major revision that has seen these inefficient lightbulbs being replaced by efficient LED bulbs in thousands. The long-term implications of this installation will be hugely beneficial for the people of Denver, who may be set to enjoy World Cup football when the 2026 World Cup heads to the North American shores.

Denver is one of the several cities that will be hosting World Cup games in 2026. A total of 10 locations have been chosen to host the matches across 17 cities in the United States. In order to host the World Cup matches, each stadium should have met certain requirements and one among them happens to be lighting. This is a major factor in the stadium being revamped with LED bulbs for a whopping $ 8.3 million. Aside from hosting the World Cup matches, this stadium will also be able to host the upcoming CONCACAF Gold Cup that happens in June.

The director of Denver Sports Commission, Matthew Payne, says that the revision work highlights the ambition of the ground and the city. “Our bid really centeredaround our destination to support an event of this importance and size. We really needed to showcase our airport, transit, accommodations and the stadium was hugely important,” said Matthew Payne. The United States will be picking the stadiums that are capable of hosting the tournament in the next two years. This revision will help Broncos Stadium compared with some of the best avenues in the United States.
