US, Canada, Mexico will host World Cup 2026!

[KC McElroy]

I just hope that 3 teams arent given automatic qualification as hosts, I guess it wont matter with the expanded tournament?

The expanded field will see CONCACAF get allocated six guaranteed slots with the possibility of more via a playoff. As for the question of whether three spots will be set aside for the hosts, that won't be decided until next year's FIFA Congress in Paris. But FIFA certainly seems to be leaning towards granting automatic spots to all three countries.

no it wont matter, but the BBC article says its not fix yet as to whether the hosts get automatic seeds.
lol would be funny if US doesnt qualify in their own country while “bad hombres” do

yes, thats the thing, they hosted 1970 and 1986! too much IMHO.

Im only happy because im very familiar with both the US and Mexico, I hope Iran will be there It will be a dream to be at the world cup.
Mexico has some very nice and large stadiums, perfect for the WC, kinda bullshit that they only got 10 games, they are a real footballing nation, not the US.
but mexico has already hosted twice if im not mistaken?

Meh, didnt care for either..!! but between the two of them, I prefer the United bid, if for nothing but for the fact that I'm centrally located for it..!! besides Morocco stood very little if any chance of being considered, once US put a bid in..!! FIFA wouldn't have dared choosing any other bidding country this time around and risk having their corrupt organization restructured once again by the Americans and half their officials sent to court /jail..!!
personally woulda preferred it left at 32teams and hosted in one of the more advanced Western European countries, perhaps one that hasn't hosted before..!?

How about budget wise? Can Morocco afford and deserve to host WC being a 3rd world country? You need mega size economy to do so.. I mean I get it I want Iran to host it one day also but we are far away from that... Are you gonna be a realistic fan?

Stop with this 3rd world country thing. It is outdated. You rank countries per income level, there are 4 levels.

Usa and Canada are at level 4, Mexico and Morroco level 3.
There are 1 billion ppl at level 4 in the world,
While 2 billion level 3 and 3b at 2..
Luckily more and more countries get out of extreme poverty.

We have great Moroccan members here!
They didn’t join PFDC to do trash talks before their game with us, like so many other fans did over the years, but instead they were very respectful members!
Obviously when some people here say bad (and wrong) things about their country, they get rightfully defensive!

I don’t want us losing those members or give them a wrong impression of us!
Please all be respectful!
Thanks

Qatar world cup is in winter ?!😱😱

Yup, didn't you know?

It was set to be summer, with Qatar making air condition stadia (with the actual pitch area air conditioned), then FIFA decided to change it to winter anyway. There were complaints, given the calendar issues and that the hosts were voted for a summer tournament, but what is anyone gonna do? FIFA answers to no one; they are their own law.

[Adesor Vafaseya]

Guys forget about it... let's be good hosts to our Moroccan guests.

Indeed!
Lets not bring in FOX News mentality accusations here!
thanks

Lol, spoken like a true american. Funny that 99% of the rest of your countrymen would say the same exact thing about Iran.....
Not even to mention that the US has the highest plane ticket prices and probably highest hotel prices in the world. And on top of that the games will be over twice as expensive as the Morocco bid. No good public transportation, and on top of that no drinking alcohol in the streets. Morocco wasn't the best place to hold it but I'd take them over a NA World Cup anyday.

See link below. Thats ISIS stats from each country. I like Moroccans and have friends from there but Speaking of facts.. They are 6th on the list. So you can't say these facts are completely baseless.
