Football Returns to North America

We are just months away from the planet's biggest sporting spectacle. The FIFA World Cup 2026 will not only be the first to feature 48 teams but also the first to be held across three countries simultaneously: the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Monumental Logistics

The expansion of the tournament has required a multi-billion dollar investment in infrastructure. From the renovation of the historic Azteca Stadium in Mexico City to the construction of retractable roofs in Toronto, the continent is transforming.

Tournament Innovations:

Group Format: 12 groups of 4 teams, ensuring more matches and excitement from the initial phase.
Sustainable Travel: Commitment to a carbon-neutral footprint, with regional clusters to minimize long flights in the first stage.
Technology: Full implementation of automated offside refereeing.

"This will be a football festival like never seen before. The Latin passion of Mexico, the organization of Canada, and the spectacle of the United States will create an unmatched atmosphere," commented Gianni Infantino.

Teams to Watch

As current champions defend their title, new powerhouses are emerging in Asia and Africa. Analysts predict this could be the tournament of surprises, where the gap between historic giants and emerging nations finally closes.
