Best Staten Island Bars to Watch the World Cup 2026

Staten Island is the closest borough to MetLife Stadium geographically, though the transit connection is indirect. The borough has a large Italian-American community (strong for Italy coverage), a growing Mexican community in the North Shore, and a Sri Lankan community in Tompkinsville. For MetLife match days, Staten Island fans often drive to the American Dream Mall or take the ferry to Manhattan for transit connections.
