Fifa has announced the host cities for the 2026 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the US, Canada and Mexico
Mexico’s famous Azteca stadium hosted the 1986 World Cup, and will do so again in 2026.US cities and states lined up with tax breaks and millions of dollars in both public and private investments for a chance at hosting matches in 2026. Fifa’s calls for tax breaks and other funding assistance led cities including Minneapolis, Chicago and Glendale, Arizona, to drop out of the running in 2018.
Lawmakers and city officials elsewhere appear more willing to make concessions. The Republican governors of Georgia and Florida in May signed legislation eliminating sales taxes on tickets for World matches. Missouri lawmakers sent similar legislation to Republican governor Mike Parson last month. All three of those states ended up as host cities.
