This world cup is going to be very interesting and unique because for the first time were going to have much more national teams in the world cup and on the other hand we are going to have three countries hosting the world cup at the same time.
However, the main host of the world cup is America, and the other two countries, Canada and Mexico are just helping America to host this tournament.
New rule model with FIFA World Cup 2026 because usually with 32 national teams participants will be 48, still not understand about the rule adopt starting from group stage until final stage exactly how many teams will qualify to each round. But for the host country seems they need rebuilding depend on football is not popular sport there and exactly they need with new stadium. Seems Mexico has bigger enthusiast for football than United State with their people more interested for NBA and football America. I don't think its right decision by choosing country with football is not popular in their country, maybe for the next world cup edition, need criteria with popular or not football in their country.
The tournament structure will change as a result of the decision to increase the FIFA World Cup to 48 participants in 2026 but it is yet unclear exactly how many teams would qualify for each round. The popularity of football in a nation should not be the only factor taken into account when deciding which nation will host the World Cup. Infrastructure amenities and capacity for growth are just a few of the considerations addressed throughout the selection process. While it is true that the host nation may need to make investments in stadium infrastructure and boost interest in the game it also gives a chance to advertise football in areas where it might not be as popular. FIFA wants to broaden the World Cup worldwide influence and reach by holding it in a variety of cities. This will open up new prospects for the growth and engagement of football.
What is first for Canada, is trio for Mexico and first for the United States. Although, USA did host the tournament in '94, it is it's first time co-hosting.
I like the merge to cooperate and work toward a common interest, because the relationship between US and Mexico came close to truncation following the supposed plan to build a fence at the border both countries share.
For Canada, they are not known as a soccer nation, but they have the grit to put on a great performance.
I agree too that Mexico sure loves soccer compared to both co-hosters. Basketball or the NBA as known, football(American) are more popular for the other two.
More than just the tournament may be new innovations in crypto and tech the world may just yet see.
