They’re trying to score.
Tinder users in New York City and New Jersey are having a ball with the influx of visitors to MetLife Stadium for the World Cup.
The dating app told The Post it has seen a 34% increase in non-local users in the area compared to the same time last year.
The international tourists using the app in the metro area hail mostly from the UK, Norway and Canada, while Americans coming to the area are mostly from Miami, Los Angeles and Boston, Tinder said.
On June 13, when Brazil played Morocco at MetLife Stadium, Tinder experienced a 35% lift in the area.
At the start of the soccer tournament, Tinder witnessed an average increase of over 47% from international users in the 16 host cities and a 22% lift among domestic visitors.
Swipe activity across World Cup host cities increased an average of almost 25%, Tinder said.
The top three host cities with the biggest surge in Tinder activity around World Cup games were Monterrey, Mexico, which enjoyed an 80% lift around the Sweden vs. Tunisia matchup; Guadalajara, Mexico, which had a 74% surge when South Korea played Czechia; and Boston, which saw a 47% increase during the Iraq vs. Norway game.
Influencer Kayla Rose, who has gone viral on Instagram for her World Cup dating posts, explained to single women in host cities that they should download Tinder to attract “cute foreign men.”
