The trio of nations hosting the 2026 World Cup — the USA, Canada and Mexico — will divide games up between them with certain group-stage matches based in one nation to reduce travel.
Canada has confirmed two venues, Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton and BMO Field in Toronto, plus three in Mexico are set as the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, Estadio BBVA in Monterrey and Estadio Akron in Guadalajara.
The US will cover the majority of games with Atlanta, Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Seattle, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, New York/New Jersey, Boston, Philadelphia and Miami picked from the 17 potential options put forward by tournament organizers.

Remember when the right wingers lied about how great Foxconn was going to be?
Foxconn factory fiasco could leave Wisconsinites on the hook for $300m
For five years, Foxconn promised and spectacularly failed to build a much-hyped sprawling factory near Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin. Now, the area’s leaders may be saddled with $300 million in bond repayments that the Taiwanese iPhone maker had promised to repay.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Foxconn agreed to pay $36 million annually across a 20-year term to pay for the surrounding infrastructure supporting the now-abandoned 3,000-acre site. Those payments are scheduled to start next tax year, and local leaders told the newspaper they’re counting on Foxconn’s cash to maintain the site while they try to attract another occupant.
Finding an occupant hasn’t been easy. Intel, which announced a $20 billion investment in two chip factories in Ohio in January, was also considering Wisconsin for the project, with its focus on Racine, the nearest large city to the proposed Foxconn plant.
The other option to cover the costs would be a total Foxconn pullout, which state officials said would let the government sell the land, assessed at a value of over $500 million.

FIFA certainly knows how to pick morally dubious regimes for their world cups. Will rainbow armbands be banned from the future one too?

If one considers what Gov. Desantis did with gerrymandering and Disney in Florida, only for his political gains, one can only expect more of the same.
