Some benefits must be given to the countries hosting the cup and traditionally allowing them to qualify automatically to the tournament is one of them, besides even if we are talking about three countries this time around with the increase on the number of teams allowed to the world cup and a reduction on the spots available to the CONCACAF that will be enough to offset this, besides the USA, Canada and Mexico qualified for the 2022 Qatar world cup so I doubt we will see the same abysmal performance we saw with the Qatar soccer team.
Have been tradition for all countries hosting FIFA World Cup qualify automatically without participants in qualifying round, not only with World Cup but also all tournament give special thing for countries hosting from Asian Cup, Euro, Copa America and African Cup. But next time FIFA World Cup 2026 have three countries hosting and take two slot participants in World Cup. Actually realistic with FIFA World Cup 2026 need three hosting countries because participants added from 32 countries become 48 countries.
Need many stadium for FIFA World Cup 2026 and three hosting countries seems can help how to manage well all World Cup matches.
