One thing that is unique about the 2026 FIFA World Cup: Canada/Mexico/United States for my country Indonesia because the time to watch the match is different. Usually we watch football matches in European leagues in the afternoon and evening, but football in the Americas is broadcast in the morning. All League in American continent play in the morning in my country time and I can't predicting what happen later if FIFA World Cup 2026 will play in the early morning and we are still sleeping Grin

.

What about your country when watching FIFA World Cup 2026 will watch in the evening, night or in the morning time like in my country.

During group stage, usually there will be three matches occurring per day. During Qatar 2022, most of the matches were held during the evening, because of weather conditions. However in the next edition, FIFA may spread out the matches, and at least some of the matches may be held during morning. And this will enable fans in Asia-Pacific to watch them live once they are back from their study/work. BTW, US-Canada comprise of several time zones and there is a 3 hour difference between Eastern time and Pacific time within the US (fortunately they haven't scheduled any matches in Alaska and Hawaii).

You're right, the idea is that people worldwide can watch it live and direct, honestly when the World Cup in Korea and Japan was held , I didn't mind getting up early to watch those games, however I'm one of those who doesn't like to get up early and still I did , this kind of thing is done to love fútbol, I am sure that in Asia there must be many who get up early or stop doing some things to be able to watch football matches, Sometimes things have to be done like this , like this be quite Sleepy all day.

By the standards of most of the inhabitants belonging to Western Civilization, this is not a country, but a savage dump. I have nothing against the fact that the abodes of such dumps, in turn, consider the inhabitants of countries belonging to Western Civilization to be bad guys, but why the hell push together two different civilizations? Football after all is mostly developed in countries with a certain culture - why hold top competitions in sludge with caveman ideas about women, etc.?

Money, that's your answer it is always about the money. The culture of west and east do not collide well together, you can see people from Europe having no trouble at Russia or even china or japan, they are as east as it goes but when we are talking about Qatar, or many other Middle East nations, we are talking about cultures differentiate from the west and that's going to be obviously an issue for some people.

But when you offer enough money, then there is nothing that Fifa wouldn't accept. Why wouldn't they, they are a private company in the end, they are called "organization" but they are a company, they have balance sheet, they have profits and losses, and we are talking about a ton of individuals who would be paid handsomely as well. So the answer is always the same; money.

There is something interesting about the fact that America has accounted for which cities will host the world cup and if you look at the cities and especially the timezone, you will notice that there are a lot of differences between the western and east sides of America. This can make managing this a little harder because if you look at the map below, there will be 16 different locations in America where the matches are to be held.

Some persons are already planning how they can outsmart US immigrations to overstay their visas. They have started raising funds to finance their visas, accommodation, and other expenses. Some have even joined the supporters club of their countries hoping that their nation will qualify for the competition. They don't intend to go and enjoy the competition but to remain in the US. The US has so many points of illegal entry because of its size and this is going to cause a big problem to the nation. Many people will use the opportunity to illegally enter the country.

Most people will not want to remain in Qatar but the US is most people's dreamland. I think the US would be able to set certain standards for tourist Visa applicants and certain measures should be put in place to monitor these tourists.

As I understand it, in order to stay in the USA, you don’t need to be a genius or James Bond - the main problem is to enter there, and then you can live there illegally for many years but still have a job, a driver’s license, etc. everything you need for life. Maybe now everything is getting tougher, but it used to be like this - my friend, for example, came to the USA on a student visa and ended up staying there for 8 years and left of his own free will. He probably could have stayed longer if he wanted to.

This is going to a big headache for USA to host world cup may be by 2026 new technologies will be in reach for keeping tracks of tourists and locating them to avoid any illegal activities.
Obviously USA can't stop people from coming for watching their favourite teams bit Obviously they'll will working on this thing more than their stadium to avoid any problem at that time .

Illegal immigration (through the Mexican border) is one of the hot topics being discussed right now in the United States. Given this, I am sure that they will take all the necessary precautions to avoid football fans from overstaying in the US. But the problem is that genuine fans also may get impacted, especially if they are from third world nations such as India and Indonesia. Even if they have a valid ticket, it is going to take a lot of effort to get the tourist visa. At least some of the fans are going to miss the tournament as a result of the visa issues.

Lol than they should start working on chips to attach it with people who are coming for world cup so that they don't get lost in USA.
Definitely this is going to be a big concern for Americans to relax their visa policies for tourists to welcome fifa in their country.

This is a without a doubt going to be one of the greatest challenges that is going to be encountered during the next world cup, the US wants to strengthen their border security, and we must remember that while the dramatic images that we see on the news is the largest source of immigration to the US, at the same time there are many other people which try their chances by trying to gain entry to the US through airports and as such it is going to be a tremendous challenge for the US to relax their policies enough to not affect the fans.

Now FIFA has their own rules. They care more about money and not about the rules. There is a documenty about FIFA that there is so much money involved in all that

If FIFA is more concerned with money, why didn't FIFA choose Saudi Arabia as the host of the World Cup because Saudi Arabia itself has sufficient accommodation and finances to be able to make the World Cup the best after Qatar.
You are giving unreasonable assumptions buddy.
I know FIFA has its own rules and nobody can change them but this is all to increase the love and prominence of the sport of football in every country so it can't be said just for money.

Back then several factors came up for consideration. One of the arguments that favored Qatar was that the middle-east has never hosted the FIFA World Cup before. FIFA is quite interested in expansion of the sport outside Europe and Latin America, and after the 2002 edition (which was hosted by Japan and South Korea), they used the 2022 edition as a stepping stone to one of the unexplored regions. I would still like the FIFA to give an opportunity to either China or India to host one of the editions of the World Cup. These two nations comprise one-third of the global population, and they are yet to host this tournament.

China and India are densely populated countries and don't really prioritize the sport of football so if you want to host one of them as the host of the World Cup you have to prepare well in advance so that there are improvements and efforts made so that spectators and players from various countries feel comfortable when compete and lived there for some time.
I don't know whether this option is a good one or not, but I think that with more and more countries that have never hosted the World Cup becoming World Cup hosts, the love for football in these countries will also increase.
However, considering that China and India are densely populated countries and have insufficient football facilities, maybe FIFA will consider all of them if you want to choose one of them.

Thats not a good option, China and India is not a football lover country. India has a huge cricket fan following and so does the other south asian countries. On the other hand USA and Canada does not have much strong football team. The craze of football is mostly in Brazil, Portagal, Saudia, Croatia

India is a crowded country, if you visited this country for once you will understand what I say, even if you don't consider the world cup tourists, this country doesn't have enough facilities even for the Indian people, I visited this country for once and I tried to take a taxi or a bus and in a normal situation when people are going to going you can never have an easy day in India.

Even if India and China have the infrastructure to support the hosting of the world cup or they have the funds for it as long as they never bid themselves forward as organizers, is it possible for FIFA to appoint one? It seems that it is impossible because FIFA only appoints countries that volunteered because it means they have the ability or desire to become the organizer, because it seems that at this time FIFA is no longer considering the development of football from the countries that bidding to be the host, so every country currently has the opportunity to become a host as long as it has the funds and FIFA sees an opportunity to get bigger profits there.

Well, profitability is a big concern if the matches are being scheduled in India. Because the government never makes these events tax-free and it won't be acceptable for the FIFA. And football is not the most popular sport in India, unlike the case with most of the other countries. And given the current political climate, I don't think that the Indian government will take a favorable view of hosting the event in their territory. In case of China, the scenario is more viable. The government is more supportive compared to the one in India.

Maybe hosting the World Cup in India is a very difficult task but if India gets permission from FIFA to host the World Cup then FIFA will benefit financially from this country. Because all kinds of sports are very popular in this country and all kinds of sports are organized in this country on a very large scale.
Football is a very popular game in several Asian countries including India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. The people of this country watch not only the World Cup matches but also all the club level matches. And even when the Hero Super League football tournament is organized in India, a large number of spectators enjoy the tournament. So if India ever gets a chance to host the football world cup tournament then India will take all necessary steps to make the tournament a success.

I keep repeating still 3 years to go, and the wrold can change A LOT, i also repeat i think USA its gonna make some change or a special VISA to all the people who wants to enjoy the World Cup, and this can include some very hard measures.

In 3 years we can have a more police state maybe they can give fast VISA for alls but with a HIGH LEVEL of tracking to all that people, they are gonna know where and when you are everytime you spend during the WC, i think that its what its gonna happen on the next WC.

It is a tricky situation. Some people here in India (especially from the states of Punjab and Gujarat) are ready to spend up to $20,000 to migrate to the United States illegally (by crossing the US-Mexico border). If the Americans relax visa requirement for the world cup, then these people will be able to migrate to the US with a fraction of the money they are spending right now. They will just purchase a ticket and then once reaching the US, they will refuse to return to their home country. It is going to be a big headache, not just for the US government, but for the FIFA as well.

Yes, in fact FIFA always makes reviews throughout the 4 years of construction of the World Cup and makes inspections with experts and they always keep their reports, in fact when things don't add up they are capable of taking away the venues, as happened in some sub 17 tournaments, now for the World Cup the demanding standards are higher, so the World Cup has to guarantee the highest quality in the stadiums and in the main soccer regulations, these things will always exist, I imagine that in every World Cup new things come up, and hosts have to meet those demands.

The quality of the stadiums and any other facilities should be obviously higher than the last world cup we saw because four years passed and we can have better technologies for stadiums and this can definitely help the hosts, while in some countries they don't have a good financial system like Qatar does, they can't provide good quality facilities if they don't already have enough facilities.

I still wonder what gives FIFA the unwarranted reason to change the football's narrative, letting many countries host the World Cup will not be cost-effective to viewers who make themselves physically available. But this might be more money for FIFA which might be their plan. I will be folding my hands as things unfold, but they will not be able to deliver extras more than what they've been doing in the past.

It's a litmus test though, I hope it's worth it more than before. And as for the quality of stadiums, I bet the US is qualified, no wonder more matches would be played there. So qualified are Canada and Mexico, but playing lower hosts perhaps due to their capabilities.

nailed it - obviously America and Canada are the great countries. But Qatar was no less than them. They have progressed in all phases of life and they have not kept anything for themselves. They even donated the temporary residential spaces to turkey after the earth quack

Well, I would like to see what will happen to countries like the USA and Canada that require visas for South American countries, if there are so many teams that are going to be on this side of the world, it is something that can lead to many problems, unless that these countries give temporary visas due to the number of tickets they have, but fans who are from these countries will give them tickets? I know that even Mexico requires a visa, at least for Venezuelans, something that seems absurd to me, but hey with emigration problems and all that (which is off topic, but I'll touch on it anyway) so what will happen to that=?

Quote from: TopTort777 on May 09, 2023, 07:34:26 AM

Players and fans have plenty of time to create visas. But not every fan and player should get multiple visas, because cup format is made so, that qualification part will be in one country, but play-off and finals will be in US. Canada and Mexico will be presented by two stadium each, but US with 11 stadium all across country. So if you are a fan of a weak country (sorry for that) you probably dont have to get multiple visas Cheesy

For players it will be much simpler. Like cruises. You get visa to US to board the cruise ship and go ashore to Mexico without Mexican visa. I suppose same system will be for fans also.

U see only one problem with USA - a lot of people gonna get visas "because of football cup", but some of them gonna stay in US as immigrants for ever, taking into consideration fact that they cant get visa there normally. Such things always happen with poor countries. There was even a case (dont remember if it was Olympic games or football cup), when plane with athletes landed, and during the event part of them disappeared, because they ran away from poverty and dictatorship in their homeland.

@EarnOnVictor I don’t believe that in just 4 year’s you can have any new extraordinary stadiums hence I’m not expecting anything new in that aspect from FIFA but what I’ll be keen to see is how will they help fan’s travel across the World Cup in case the fan's face any issue. Also about the visa it’s my understanding that once you get US visa you’re allowed to travel easily and I believe that all these tourists will be issued a very small duration visa hence they’ll not be able to stay back for long.

I think the same, because there are many countries with restrictions, in fact for Venezuelans to enter these countries they must request visas, otherwise they cannot, so they would have to request 3 visas to be able to see the World Cup in all its splendor, it would be something strange so they can see and enjoy, I don't think they restrict the fans, but since things are in the game, it doesn't surprise me that they are banned and can't access this world cup, I think things are going in that direction, and That's why I wouldn't be surprised ,it would be ideal if everyone was given entry to those countries just by Showing the World Cup tickets.

I think it's not about that, Qatar is not a big football nation neither and they got it, and considering how big and how amazing it is right now and we should be considering how "wealthy" they are as well, I know not all the same level but as a whole that's one of the biggest and best nations in all of the world, most talk about USA and China and all that, but nobody could deny that India is one of the biggest as well.

This is why I believe that we should be considering them to host it as well, wouldn't be that impossible. I would prefer an Indian world cup over Qatar one for example, and it would be a lot better to visit because if you go to India you know that there are a billion places to visit that is amazingly lovely to see for any tourist in the world.

I would disagree if you claim that there are not enough stadiums and other facilities in India. Here we have a very popular league known as the Indian Super League, which is played in stadiums with capacity of more than 50,000. Anyway, if these stadiums are not up to the international standards, then there is always the option of upgrading them. And I am sure that the situation in China is much better than what it is in India. There is no logic in ignoring countries such as India and China for hosting rights, while awarding the same to smaller countries such as Qatar.

User tusandii is a spammer. Just report his posts, as the user never responds, writes poorly-informed content, and contributes to the general low-quality mess we see in threads.

ISL is big, also Chinese league, their stadiums are at capacity, I'm pretty sure we'll be hearing more about them over the next decade. I was actually just talking about the former in another thread -- it's big, bigger than we know, just because we don't see/read the media that's out there, as they're almost blind to Google.

And football is not the most popular sport in India, unlike the case with most of the other countries. And given the current political climate, I don't think that the Indian government will take a favorable view of hosting the event in their territory. In case of China, the scenario is more viable. The government is more supportive compared to the one in India.

I think India or similar countries can't be good options because the world cup should be in a country where there is more interest in football and the government helps to be a better host and have a better experience. Otherwise, there are many other countries in the world to host the world cup.

Well.. this is not a valid argument. In this case, how can you defend the decision from FIFA to give hosting rights to USA for the 2026 edition? Football is not one of the most popular sports in USA. It is way behind NBA, MLB and NFL in terms of popularity. The situation in India is also similar. Cricket is extremely popular here, but football will rank as the second most popular sport. And there are strongholds for football in India, such as the northeastern states and Kerala. IMO, only the government support is a concern for staging the tournament in India.

It is all about the support from the government and not about the popularity and how good the sport is being played. As stated the popular sport of USA isn't football, however it have won the hosting rights. Soon India will have a better position in football. The franchise based league have gained more importance than the past. More foreign players into the league have given the local players get better experience. In some part of Kerala we were able to see tournaments conducted with the participation of few African football teams.

Well, even if India will have their own national team that is competitive enough with other countries and let's say have a better position in the sport, that is certainly not be enough to host a World Cup because aside from there's a process to follow, only their government can have the options whether they wanted to host the FIFA World Cup or not and it's not because of their position towards the sports or even if the people loved the sport. There are a lot of factors that needed to consider to first because these aforementioned reasons alone will surely not suffice.

Even if India and China have the infrastructure to support the hosting of the world cup or they have the funds for it as long as they never bid themselves forward as organizers, is it possible for FIFA to appoint one?
