The World’s Game will soon have a new home in the World’s Borough.
Queens’ professional fútbol club, Queensboro FC, will construct a 7,500-seat, soccer-specific stadium on the campus of York College in Jamaica, the team and the City University of New York said at a ceremony Tuesday.
The stadium announcement comes about 18 months after the club unveiled tentative plans to play home matches at the CUNY campus. The school system awarded a contract to QBFC to build the venue last summer, but negotiations took longer than club officials anticipated as they dealt with city, state and university requirements, according to a person familiar with the deal.
