Houston is known as a metropolis with a thousand faces, a city that has so much to offer - from sports to culture, rodeos, oil, skyscrapers... However, what it is perhaps most famous for is the famous sentence heard from the Apollo 13 spacecraft.
"Houston, We Have a Problem".
When it comes to football and the World Cup, Houston has no problems. On the contrary, this city in Texas has somehow helped the organizers to play the games early without anyone being bothered by the heat.
The center of the American space agency NASA and its "NRG" stadium (72.000) will be specific because six of the seven World Cup matches in this city will start at exactly noon local time (19 our time).
The reason is the roof (the first movable one in the NFL), so the sun and heat cannot be a problem.
Houston is often said to be the fourth Mexican city to host the World Cup - due to its proximity to Mexico and the large number of Mexicans living there. In addition, unofficially, as many as 140 different languages can be heard there.
