While the soccer federations of Canada, Mexico, and the United States had individually announced plans to field a bid for the 2026 World Cup, the concept of a joint bid among the three North American countries was first proposed in 2016. The joint bid was officially unveiled on April 10, 2017, under which the tournament would be held at venues in all three countries. A shortlist of 23 candidate cities were named in the official bid, with 17 in the U.S., 3 in Canada, and 3 in Mexico. Ten U.S. candidate cities will join three Canadian candidate cities, and three Mexican candidate cities, to form the roster of 16 cities that will host the matches of this World Cup. Although a joint bid, the majority of the matches will be held in the United States. Canada and Mexico will host 10 matches each, while the United States will host the other 60, including all matches from the quarterfinals onward. On June 13, 2018, at the 68th FIFA Congress in Moscow, Russia, the United bid was selected by 134 votes to Morocco 's 65, while Iran voted for neither. Upon this selection, Canada will become the fifth country to host both the men 's and women 's World Cup, joining Sweden, the United States, Germany, and France. Mexico will become the first country to host three men 's World Cups, and the United States will become the first country to host both the men 's and women 's World Cup twice each. This will be the first World Cup to be hosted in three countries and the first since 2002, and the second overall, to have multiple host countries.

In July 2012, Canadian Soccer Association president Victor Montagliani confirmed plans for a Canadian bid, saying : `` We have verbally told FIFA that when the bid process begins for the next available World Cup, which would be the 2026 World Cup, that the CSA will be one of the countries putting in a formal proposal ''. At the time the bid was announced, Canada had hosted the men 's 1987 Under - 16 World Championship and the U-20 World Cups for both men and women ; the country has since hosted the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women 's World Cup and the FIFA Women 's World Cup in 2015. In October 2013, Montagliani confirmed Canada 's intention to bid for the 2026 tournament and the Canadian Soccer Association reiterated this in January 2014. In September 2012, Mexican Football Federation President Justino Compeán confirmed plans for a Mexican bid. In October 2013, Liga MX President said that Mexico is interested in joining forces with the U.S. to co-host a bid for the 2026 World Cup. On December 9, 2014, the Mexican Football Federation confirmed that it is bidding for the 2026 World Cup. If the campaign is successful, Mexico will be the first nation to have hosted the World Cup three times. On May 13, 2016, at the FIFA Congress in Mexico City, USSF board member John Motta told ESPN `` whatever happens, we will bid for the 2026 World Cup -- either jointly ( with Mexico or Canada ) or we will go it alone. '' The United States hosted the 1994 FIFA World Cup and unsuccessfully bid for the 2022 World Cup, which was won by Qatar in 2010. On April 18, 2015, Brazilian legend Pelé stated that the United States should host the 2026 World Cup. In December 2016 Victor Montagliani, CONCACAF president announced for the first time a possibility of a joint bid between the United States, Canada, and Mexico to host the 2026 World Cup. On April 10, 2017, the three bodies officially announced their intent to submit a joint bid for the 2026 World Cup. Bid process Main article : 2026 FIFA World Cup Bidding for the 2026 FIFA World Cup was postponed due to the 2015 FIFA corruption case and the subsequent resignation of Sepp Blatter, then was restarted following the FIFA Council meeting on May 10, 2016, wherein the bidding process would consist of four phases : May 2016 -- May 2017 : a new strategy and consultation phase June 2017 -- Dec 2017 : enhanced phases for bid preparation March 2018 -- June 2018 : bid evaluation June 2018 : final decision With no rival bid having emerged since April 2017 the CONCACAF member federations of Canada, Mexico, and the United States sent a joint request to FIFA to hasten the bid process. Canada, Mexico, and the United States wanted FIFA to award the bid outside the traditional bidding process at the June 2018 FIFA Congress in Moscow if the CONCACAF - bid meets FIFA requirements. However the FIFA Council decided on May 8, 2017, that FIFA would have a full bidding procedure. In order to ensure continental rotation of hosting duties, only the member associations of CAF, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, and the OFC were invited, as these continental confederations had not hosted the two previous World Cups. A date of August 11, 2017, was set for submission of an intention to bid. FIFA Football tournament hosting experiences Together, Canada, Mexico, and the United States have successfully hosted 13 FIFA events, which is the most of any trio of geographically connected nations in the world.

The United Bid Committee plans to include 20 -- 25 venues in the official bid, which will be sent to FIFA in March 2018. Stadiums must have a capacity of at least 40,000 for group - round matches and at least 80,000 for the opening match and the final. On September 7, 2017, the United Bid Committee announced that a total of 41 cities ( with 44 venues ) had submitted bids marking their official declaration of interest to be included in the final bid : Almost a month later, on October 4, 2017, the list of cities was cut down to 32 with 35 venues. During U.S. Soccer 's annual general meeting in Orlando in February 2018, Gulati revealed that the list of cities had been cut down to 26 with 29 venues. On March 14, 2018, Vancouver, Minneapolis and Chicago all announced that they were dropping out as potential host cities. All three cities cited concerns over the financial transparency of being a host city and cited FIFA 's unwillingness to negotiate financial details as reasons for their decisions ; the bid committee announced the next day they had reduced the number of cities in the bid to 23. Cities had to submit written proposals to the United Bid Committee by January 19, 2018, before being selected by the committee. The official bid has proposed the main opening match be held in either the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City or at the Rose Bowl in the Los Angeles area, that all three host countries ' teams would host their first matches on the first day of the tournament and that the final match be held at MetLife Stadium in the New York City area. The bid also proposed that the two semi-final matches would be held at AT&T Stadium in the Dallas / Fort Worth area and Mercedes - Benz Stadium in Atlanta. All of the other cities in the American portion of the bid are under consideration for quarter - final matches. The bid book proposal calls for Mexico and Canada to each host seven group - stage games, two matches in the round of 32, and one in the round of 16.

Support Football confederations Oceania Football Confederation CONCACAF CONMEBOL FIFA members Afghanistan Argentina Bolivia Brazil Chile Colombia Costa Rica Ecuador El Salvador Grenada Guyana Honduras Jamaica Liberia Namibia Nicaragua Panama Paraguay Peru Saudi Arabia Uruguay Venezuela Zimbabwe Public opinion On October 24, 2017, a survey of adults in Canada, Mexico, and the United States showed a broad support for Canada -- United States -- Mexico bid to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It found that 77 % of North American residents are in favor of hosting the first - ever 48 - team FIFA World Cup, and 81 % of respondents across the three countries agree that hosting the tournament would be good for their specific country. Also, nearly six in 10 ( 57 percent ) of those surveyed say they would be interested in attending FIFA World Cup matches if the games were played near where they live or work. U.S. House of Representatives On April 20, 2018, Representatives Darin LaHood and fellow co-chairs of the Congressional Soccer Caucus Kathy Castor ( FL - 14 ), Don Bacon ( NE - 02 ), Ruben Kihuen ( NV - 04 ) introduced a resolution to recognize and support the efforts of the United Bid Committee to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States. The U.S. House of Representatives adopted this resolution on April 25, 2018. Other government officials Toronto city councillors Mark Grimes and Cesar Palacio support the bid, as well as Mayor John Tory. Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante supports it. U.S. President Donald Trump, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto also all support the bid for 2026 FIFA World Cup. On March 13, 2018, Canadian Minister of Sport Kirsty Duncan announced in Ottawa the Canadian federal government officially threw its support behind the North American bid for the 2026 World Cup, with the promise of up to $5 million in immediate help should the unified bid win. Marketing The bid is branded `` United 2026 '', the logo of the bid is a ball with the number 26 representing the year `` 2026 '' with the colors of the flags of Canada, Mexico, and the United States and the slogans are : `` United As One '' ( Spanish : `` Unidos Como Uno '', French : `` Unis Comme Un '' ). and `` Football For All '' ( Spanish : `` Fútbol Para Todos '', French : `` Football Pour Tous '' ). Opinions On December 28, 2017, during a sports business conference in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, FIFA president Gianni Infantino considered Canada -- Mexico -- United States 2026 FIFA World Cup bid to be a positive message. Criticism U.S. President Donald Trump 's anti-immigration decrees had been touted as a potential risk, with FIFA president Gianni Infantino saying : It is obvious when it comes to FIFA competitions, any team, including the supporters and officials of that team, who qualify for a World Cup need to have access to the country, otherwise there is no World Cup. However, assurances were later given by the government that there would be no such discrimination. On April 28, 2018, U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted a post threatening the countries that would not support the bid with political repercussions. A range of commentators have stated that this would hinder the bid 's chances of winning. References ^ Jump up to : `` USA, Mexico, Canada announce bid to host ' 26 WC ''. April 10, 2017.
