Snip.....

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.
Also, we get to drink beer and have alot more freedom compared to what we witnessed in the UAE.

Canada and Mexico are hosting for the first time but it is important to remember that the United States also hosted the competition in 1994 albeit as a single host. These countries cooperation demonstrates the value of working together for a common goal. Given the tense tensions between the US and Mexico over the proposed border fence it is particularly noteworthy. Despite not being a well known football power Canada is determined to demonstrate its talent and put up a fantastic performance. It's true that football has a special place in Mexico heart although American football and basketball (NBA) are the most popular sports in the other two. It is possible that there will be fascinating advancements in technology and cryptocurrency in addition to the event. Last but not least unlike some of the restrictions seen in prior host countries like the UAE this shared hosting allows for the enjoying of freedoms including the option to savour a refreshing beer.
