2026 FIFA World Cup Host already Announced
After a FIFA asscociation member vote in Moscow on Wednesday the host for 2026 World Cup has been chosen.
A joint North American bid – USA, Mexico and Canada – has been chosen as hosts of the 2026 World Cup. USA hosted the World Cup in 1994 and Mexico in 1986 but Canada has never previously hosted FIFA.
The vote was cast at the 68th FIFA Congress on the eve of the 2018 edition of the tournament, which will begin on Thursday with the official opening ceremony. It was the first time that all the FIFA associations were eligible to vote for the host.
The first Match of 2018 tournament will take place tomorrow between Russia and Saudia Arabia.
In eight years, the US, Mexico and Canada will play host to the largest edition of the tournament to date — 48 teams playing 80 matches across 34 days.
Under the North America proposal, 60 of the tournament’s matches will be held in the US, including everything from the quarterfinals onwards, while Mexico and Canada will host 10 games each.
After the controversial award of the 2018 and 2022 tournaments to Russia and Qatar, respectively, FIFA has promised a “more open and transparent” vote this time. The voting of the national associations will be published at the conclusion of Congress.
Previous hosts had been decided by the FIFA Executive committee, now known as the FIFA Council.
