I hope this is the case as this was the most common complain fans had about the Qatar world cup, however there are things that could easily go wrong, the public security at Mexico is low and fans could face some dangers if going there, and while the US will host most of the games there could be some issues there as well, as visas could be difficult to get if migratory laws get harsher and the possibility of an attack against the stadiums will always be there.

Mexico is hosting only around 10% of the games. They are hosts only on paper (along with Canada), and it is the United States that is hosting 80% of the matches. And Mexico was the hosts for the 1986 FIFA World Cup. It went well without any major incidents, so I am not that worried about the security situation in that country now. Even recently, we had world cups in countries with an above average crime rate, such as Brazil and South Africa. But these tournaments went ahead without any untoward issues. The same will happen with Mexico this time.

I think Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and several other countries on the American continent make soccer the favorite there. Even though in America itself football is inferior to sports such as the NBA, it is hoped that the holding of the 2026 World Cup this time will be a good opportunity to increase and attract audience interest in football in the region.

For the appointment of the World Cup host, FIFA has its own regulations in screening participants. Of course all countries have the right to volunteer to host, even the defending champions. However, FIFA prioritizes areas of the country that have minimal interest, this is done as a means of promotion and increasing interest in football itself.

Yes that's right. This will be their opportunity to develop and promote football so that it is more interested in it as a favorite sport. I often follow American football. Starting from getting "one-time use" players from Europe to now being able to export players to Europe. Indeed, the prestige of soccer in America is still inferior to other sporting events, but the progress of soccer in the United States is increasing from year to year.

I think that if America is serious about football, they can be more dangerous because they have the money to build FIFA standard infrastructure and everything that supports the quality of the players. So with them hosting the 2026 world cup I suspect they will continue to add so that in time the world cup will count.

We know some American countries have much more interest in football than other countries, for example in Brazil every kid plays football in the street whenever they are free and get a chance while they don't have many coaches and they don't learn football academically. While in America there is not much interest like they have in Brazil.

At the end of the day, any sport that is not amateur, or simply a group of friends doing it as a hobby will be driven by money. Simple as that.

The moment a sport gets organized, and there is a professional aspect about it, it's all about money.

It's actually on the name itself. Being a Professional means you are getting paid money to do something. That's when some people "go pro" at their sports, the exact moment when they start getting paid money.

It is always about money and it's what keeping the sports industry and any other industry moving that involves professionals and becoming better and better as the years passed. These big names in any given sport will surely not play this long if it's not about money in the first place, sure they love their chosen sports because that is their passion, gotta give them that, but I doubt that it is still the same when we take out money in the equation.

I would say that it's also a good business as well, it's a profitable one. You could see the celebrities buying teams for the last decade or so, why are they doing that? Because if you buy a team, or a share of it, and then spend just a little bit money on it, then you could end up getting just a little bit success and sell it for a lot more.

Look at Michael Jordan, that dude considered to be the best player that ever played this game and he did nearly nothing from his basketball contract, but the moment he bought Hornets? He could sell that team for billions and billions now. That's how you make a profit, you buy a team for very little, and then sell it for a lot of money in the future because teams get valued higher and higher.

I'm not sure how FIFA selects a country or some countries to host the World Cup because sometimes just like the Qatar World Cup, they could select many other teams.
However the last World Cup was during the covid crisis but still, I think there could be much better options than Qatar.
But this time America is the best option they could ever have because they hosted the World Cup before.

I have posted this before. The decision to grant the hosting rights to Qatar for the 2022 world cup was a grave mistake from the part of FIFA. There were issues related to poor treatment being meted out to the construction workers, as well as issues regarding discrimination against certain sections of the visitors. Even in 2018, Russia hosted the tournament without any major issues. But that was not the case with Qatar in 2022. Hopefully the 2026 edition would be an occasion where the visitors and fans are treated with respect.

I hope this is the case as this was the most common complain fans had about the Qatar world cup, however there are things that could easily go wrong, the public security at Mexico is low and fans could face some dangers if going there, and while the US will host most of the games there could be some issues there as well, as visas could be difficult to get if migratory laws get harsher and the possibility of an attack against the stadiums will always be there.

People should know about that already because we cannot just expect that the US will lower their security just because they are hosting a world cup and are expecting a flock of people around the world. It's not just about World Cup because the security of the country itself needs protection and so we expect them to be more strict because after every games, they can't just follow every tourist as that will just be a total waste of resources and that is also impossible to do.

In United State, NBA is bigger than soccer and actually not only with soccer but also American Football more favorite and enthusiastic sport than soccer, its little doubt with United State becoming host of FIFA World Cup 2026 will all matches get full supporter in stadium? Agree with your opinion for the future how selective from FIFA choosing some countries to be host of World Cup, are there football is favorite sport and how enthusiastic respond form their citizen when their country success becoming host of World Cup.

Every World Cup edition many countries volunteered to be the host and FIFA need to find percentage of each countries citizen excited or not with football, don't push based on how much money they have but FIFA need to priority football in candidate host of World Cup most popular sport there.

Its beyond crazy to think FIFA would just hand out hosting rights like candy, without considering the local football culture. NBA and NFL are the American heavyweight. But hey, even I’ve shot a few hoops in my time, and I can tell you the energy around basketball here is electrifying!

Now, will our stadiums be packed during the FIFA World Cup 2026? Its a stretch. Americans will probably fill up the stadiums, not so much for the love of soccer, but more for the spectacle, the international camaraderie, and the FOMO.

FIFA needs to take a hard look at its selection criteria. Hosting the World Cup should be about fanning the flames of football passion, not just a cash grab. America may not be a soccer nation, but when we host, oh, we host! We put on a show. But is that enough for the true essence of the World Cup?

Well, I guess it depends on the preference of the people around that locality. Because like ay other sports, it is about money, business, and reputation of the owner and the company. I am not stealng the rights of the fans for supporting the team and the community bt if you dig into it, it really is just a business. The real game is managing players not on the court but swapping them and buying the talents of the player from their budget.

Soccer is not that popular and of interest to most Americans but there is also a sizable Domestic League.
I think the love of football for the US people will be even greater later when the World Cup is over there and the Domestic League can also be the most interested in by most people even though the NFL and NBA are the most popular.
Even for women's soccer the US has a national team that is strong enough and can compete with other national teams.
With the FIFA World Cup being held there, the US has the opportunity to get tickets to compete in this prestigious event.

Association football is not very popular in the United States and one of the reasons is that the US national team is not very strong and almost never performs well during the FIFA tournaments. And the American public doesn't like it when their national team loses to countries such as Germany and Argentina. Hopefully during the 2026 tournament, there will be a change. if the national team can do a few upsets, then there is a chance that more and more people may pay attention to football and in the end it will result in an increased popularity for that sport in the US.

Hosting rights is more on the business side and that is also the same reason why the Qatar was then selected to host the most recent World Cup, in fact, some even believed that Qatar bribed some of the members of the FIFA council just to secure their hosting rights and while we cannot really prove that it indeed happen but I think it's somehow safe to say that there was something like that happened behind the scenes.

It was the main problem when they wanted to make America host the World Cup because there are many other countries where football is very famous.
But I don't think this can be a problem for us to see a country like America hosting the World Cup because even in the past World Cup in South Africa and some other countries football was not the first priority but there we saw many people in these countries show more interest on this sport.

All of this is also done for the sake of the progress of football in a country and the US is a country where football is not so popular, unlike several other countries out there.
Even though there will be preparations that take up a large budget to be carried out by the US football association and the government there, such as repairing stadiums and also making extra comfort for every national team player who will compete and for everyone who will watch the World Cup there.
We can only support an effort for the future of each country's football that is being carried out by FIFA.

When competing, I am also not sure that the US can compete with other national teams who are victorious like Spain, France, and also England, but at least when they get tickets to compete in the World Cup, it will raise enthusiasm and determination to be able to have a national team that is also better than before before.

The 2026 world cup might bring football a bit closer to the mainstream media in the US, but it already has been hosted there, and I don't think it has contributed too much.

It was the year 1994 when the US hosted it, that was almost 30 years ago. You would think that in that amount of time you would have seen the effects of it already, but I don't think it has affected it too much.

If we are able to check few things surely this will give us better updates as their policies are giving them edge too many immigrants are here, and they are having good facilities and other things which are helpful for having better training and financial packages, so this all is in favor of the USA, and they are ruling the sports world unanimously for decades few countries are trying to catch this all but its never been easy for them as things are never been on level.

Even their main sports are different like NFL, MLB and NHL but still they are best in quality and financial package which is not comparable in near future we can expect good changes but still no challenge for the USA in many sports with now they are getting better in soccer as well hopefully this world cup will bring few more improvements.

Leagues such as the NFL and NBA maybe wildly popular in the US, but at the same time their universities give a lot of importance to athletics and other Olympic sports disciplines. And that is the reason why they perform so well during the Olympic Games. And also, the US attracts a lot of talented athletes. A lot of them migrate to that country and attain the citizenship. In case of football, despite all this they are still unable to perform at the top level. Many of their national team players are of migrant origin, but in the world cups, they have performed poorly.

Soccer is not that popular and of interest to most Americans but there is also a sizable Domestic League.
I think the love of football for the US people will be even greater later when the World Cup is over there and the Domestic League can also be the most interested in by most people even though the NFL and NBA are the most popular.

If we are able to check few things surely this will give us better updates as their policies are giving them edge too many immigrants are here, and they are having good facilities and other things which are helpful for having better training and financial packages, so this all is in favor of the USA, and they are ruling the sports world unanimously for decades few countries are trying to catch this all but its never been easy for them as things are never been on level.

Even their main sports are different like NFL, MLB and NHL but still they are best in quality and financial package which is not comparable in near future we can expect good changes but still no challenge for the USA in many sports with now they are getting better in soccer as well hopefully this world cup will bring few more improvements.

Leagues such as the NFL and NBA maybe wildly popular in the US, but at the same time their universities give a lot of importance to athletics and other Olympic sports disciplines. And that is the reason why they perform so well during the Olympic Games. And also, the US attracts a lot of talented athletes. A lot of them migrate to that country and attain the citizenship. In case of football, despite all this they are still unable to perform at the top level. Many of their national team players are of migrant origin, but in the world cups, they have performed poorly.

Soccer is not that popular and of interest to most Americans but there is also a sizable Domestic League.
I think the love of football for the US people will be even greater later when the World Cup is over there and the Domestic League can also be the most interested in by most people even though the NFL and NBA are the most popular.
Even for women's soccer the US has a national team that is strong enough and can compete with other national teams.
With the FIFA World Cup being held there, the US has the opportunity to get tickets to compete in this prestigious event.

Yeah, at the end of the day it's all about the money.

These leagues make a lot of money by simply having these young players, and in return they basically give them a scholarship.

Seems like a really great deal for the companies running those leagues. It's also a good opportunity for the young players that would have no chance to pay for the expensive university.

I guess that wouldn't work in countries were universities are free or reasonably priced.

So you are saying that the shitty college system in the United States is actually helping it to produce great athletes? I thought about it, and I would agree to it partially. I know that the tuition fee and other expenses in college system is extremely high for the American students, and that is one of the reasons why Bernie Sanders became popular suddenly when he talked about writing off student loans. And education is either free or affordable in most of the European countries (and also in non-European countries such as China). But I do believe that this scholarship system for bright athletes exist in other countries as well.

I don't think so. These kids basically have to go through college to get to theor end goal of playing in the professional leagues. Most major sports draft out of college because that's the route that has always been. Basketball is kind of moving away from that, but it's not a 2 way street. These colleges have just been making tons of money off these kids and the kids do it because it's "part of the process".

Well, if only they have that much option to reject the process and then go with what they wanted direclty, it could've been an easy journey for them. But unfortunately, that's not really the issue because if we look closely at the bigger picture, going colleges is also important to them even if these young ones aren't planning for it because their path towards greatness like to be a star in their chosen sports is not really guaranteed and if that happens, they can always go back with what they have finished and make it as a main source of income.
