World Cup 2026: United States, Canada and Mexico Win Bid to Be Host

US, Canada, and Mexico beat Morocco in the vote to host 2026 World Cup


  • Joint bid was chosen by Fifa congress in Russia on eve of 2018 event
  • United 2026 received 134 votes compared to Morocco’s 65
The United States, Mexico, and Canada will host a joint World Cup in 2026 after comfortably beating bid rivals Morocco in the vote for the first expanded 48-team tournament.

 The promise of £11bn (£8.24bn) in profit for Fifa, double that offered by their rivals was enough to sway undecided voters to side with the United campaign, which received 134 votes to Morocco’s 65.

 The relief on the face of the Fifa president, Gianni Infantino, was obvious as he congratulated the winning bid team. Fifa clearly preferred the more lucrative and safer United bid. It was the first World Cup vote since 2010 when the Football Association suffered humiliation after Russia won the right to host the 2018 World Cup.

 Putin offered little alternative to David Gill, the English Fifa vice-president, but to shake hands as he made his way along the line of those on the stage.
