Speaking to reporters, Silver said the league is where it expected to be at this stage of the process and revealed that discussions with prospective ownership groups will continue around the upcoming World Cup final in New York.

“We’ve had tremendous interest from multiple cities in Europe, including cities that we didn’t ask for bids from,” Silver said.
