The world’s biggest sporting event is coming to our country. In an historic first, three countries – Canada, U.S., and Mexico – will be co-hosting the FIFA World Cup in 2026.
A joint North American bid won the right to host the 2026 World Cup in a vote of FIFA’s member delegations on Wednesday, meaning the massive soccer tournament will make its way to Canada for the first time.
Canada has a mixed history of hosting major international sports competitions, from the financially disastrous 1976 Summer Games to the successful 2010 Winter Olympics and 2015 Women’s World Cup.
