Yeah, that was Korea/Japan 2002, and yes, we've never had three teams hosting it.

By that logic, it would mean that from now on we will always have multiple teams hosting the world cup. Is this going to be the norm?, also, from what I've read it looks like it will be mostly played in the US.

80 out of a total of 104 matches are being played in the United States, but FIFA has decided to provide automatic qualification to all the three hosts. This is where I am having an issue. I don't have a problem in case the USA is given automatic entry by the virtue of being the hosts. But what about Canada and Mexico? What is the point in providing them the same benefit, given the fact that they are only hosting a dozen or so matches? It is so unfair to the other teams in the CONCACAF, because the number of slots available for them has been reduced.

We had the world cup with two hosts before if I'm not wrong but still, we never had three countries in a world cup however America is the primary host and Canada/ Mexico are just helping America but I think the reason of why FIFA made three countries hosting the world cup was increasing the number of teams in the world cup that's why we need more hosts instead of one country hosting the world cup.

Well it is true that the American weather is good and the site of the place where the world cup would take place will be quite better with no big restrictions like what happened during the last world cup that people where restricted from drinking beer and other beverages because it was against there law.
Making two countries to host the world cup is a bit very rare to me because I don't think this had been happening before. What I know is that it's only one country that normally host the world cup. Now it would involve two countries.

I remember that after the Korea Japan world cup FIFA was very adamant about the world cup never being hosted by more than one nation, but with the increase on the number of teams, games and stadiums needed for the next world cups then FIFA had to reconsider their posture, so I think that from now own multiple hosts will become the norm, after all if the US cannot host the world cup all by itself then who can?

Exactly the reason why Qatar World Cup happened in winter season because the humidity and temperature is not that much of a problem compared if they will commence the games in summer just like what we used to because the heat will become a major problem to the audience especially the players who are playing under the heat of the sun. But even if it's already winter season when the games happened in the recent World Cup, the stadiums still needed a lot of help to cool it down.

Qatar is a country with this hot weather and that's why they had cooling devices even in stadiums otherwise considering the number of fans in stadiums it could be so hard for the visitors to even stay in the stadiums that's why as far as I know most of the games was at night and the world cup was in winter to make sure about the weather but we won't have these problems in America and especially in Canada in 2026.

Well, of course, none of these climate problems will surface in the upcoming World Cup 2022 as long as they will not wait until winter to play the games Grin

just kidding.
I mean, North American countries have been known to have their own nice weathers especially in Summer where most games of World Cup usually happens and cooling system inside stadiums will not be needed anymore because even if it's summer time, the weather is still friendly enough for tourists, players, audience and the organizers to enjoy the games.

The schedule of FIFA World Cup in 2022 overlapped with some of the major European leagues and many of the clubs were even threatening that they will not release any of the players for the tournament. In the end however, FIFA was able to settle a deal between them and the clubs. However, for me this sends the wrong signal. World Cup is the most important tournament for the sport of football, and greedy clubs want it to be given a low priority. Going forward, I am sure that these sort of clashes will become more frequent.

To be honest they would never do that, there are many players with contracts that states if they go further in world cup and they play at least in 50% of those games, they would get a bonus. This indicates that teams want their players to play in the world cup and play a lot and go further so that their value would go up and you could sell them later on. That is of course useless in most cases and doesn't really happen that often, but at the same time we are talking about a situation that proves that clubs wants their players to go to world cup as well.

Obviously it was a terrible thing that it was right in the middle of the season and I rather watch it during the summer as well, but Qatar is so hot that even for a November-December cup, they had HUGE AC's built into the stadiums to cool it down.

There is an interesting article from Sports Tiger, which details the chances of India qualifying for the FIFA world cup of 2026.

https://www.sportstiger.com/news/heres-how-india-can-be-part-of-fifa-world-cup-2026

This time the Asian teams have been allotted a total of 8.5 slots, compared to 4.5 for Qatar 2022. However, that doesn't mean much for India as they are placed at the 19th position among a total of 47 member nations.

India does not need to play in the first round of AFC qualifiers and they have received a direct entry to Round 2. This round consists of 9 groups, with 4 teams each (total of 36 teams). India has become the most populous nation in the world a few days back (overtaking China). It will be a shame (for them) if they fail to qualify for the FIFA world cup.

Everything need of the time for the process,So the stadium also need of processing before using for the matches.In many countries,their are lot of good stadium around the world.But we can’t keep the matches all around the world,we need to keep all the matches in one country alone.It’s the only way to make a good impact to the matches.Then easy for the organising team to do administration.

To get the good stadium we need to allow the people to work for it.If the hosting country is developed country like the Qatar,they can easy create with their money.Money plays huge role in the stadium making for the matches.If the budget is high then,we can do more seats available to the fans.It also help the hosting country to earn good money from the seats.The more number of seats allow the more people to enjoy the game.

We know in America they have a much better situation to host the world cup than Qatar and the reason is they have a better weather situation and better stadiums, in Qatar they had to spend money to build stadiums and hotels while in America they don't need to spend this money. Also because of the weather situation in Qatar, they had to use many cooling devices for even the stadiums while in America they have a much better situation to host the world cup.

One of the most beautiful thing in the next World cup is the weather, the friendly weather will play role in the performance of players . The next world cup will really go smoothly because already everything have been set longtime ago, and will be one of the best world cup tournaments.

Well it is true that the American weather is good and the site of the place where the world cup would take place will be quite better with no big restrictions like what happened during the last world cup that people where restricted from drinking beer and other beverages because it was against there law.

The next FIFA World Cup will be held from June-July 2026. And the day-time temperature in Southern cities such as Los Angeles can climb to 30-32 degrees during this time. It may not be as hot as the Arabian peninsula, but many of the European and East Asian teams will be at a disadvantage. Anyway, this is not new. Back in 2014, the world cup was held in Brazil, and many of the host cities were quite hot and humid. My only concern is about the rains. If there is no rain interruption, then I am OK with whatever timeline they decide.

It is true that since the world keeps progressing, I feel like the stadiums needs to progress as well. There are some stadiums around the world that is huge, but they are not brand new and that results with the stadium not being considered as a great venue anymore.

Why do you think Wembley got all that renovation and a new one was built? Just for fun? Obviously we need to consider the fact that people need to see better stadiums, sometimes you could literally build a stadium with less seating and still be a better venue, because I rather watch it at a 50k seater that was built in 2020 than a place that has 80k seats but was built in 1980 since that would be too old. Hence, world cup does require it to be a bit more recent and more modern in that way.

I think that the quality of football in a competition does not depend on the organization of the tournament, but on the quality of the players and the teams.
Qatar invested a lot of money in new stadiums that they will no longer need, and have we so easily forgotten the difficult conditions in which foreign workers built those stadiums and how many were injured or lost their lives in the process?
Suspicions that Qatar won the organization of the world cup through corrupt practices have not yet been resolved.
Qatar was the most expensive host in history to watch live World Cup matches and largely inaccessible to ordinary fans.
I think that in this whole story, only FIFA was satisfied because of the big profits and Qatar because of the big promotion of an authoritarian and undemocratic country.

There are a few corrections. There is no suspicion that Qatar bribed the delegates during the vote for hosting rights. This is an established facts. Some of the delegates (especially those from the poor countries) received expensive gifts worth millions of USD from the Qatari delegation. And FIFA refused to take any action despite these facts being proved. And I am not sure whether FIFA gained anything by staging the tournament in Qatar. FIFA officials benefited in terms of kickbacks, but overall the revenues fell short of expectation due to the refusal from Qatari authorities to relax the anti-visitor regulations.

I personally believe that the World Cup in Qatar was a great experience for FIFA because of the huge profits, and also for the organizers because of the international promotion of an actually non-democratic and authoritarian state.
As for the fans, the question is how satisfied they actually were. They had alcohol restrictions, traveling was very expensive as was staying in Qatar and I believe the average fan was not very happy about that.
Obviously, FIFA wants richer fans who cause less trouble at matches and bring more profit

Worries about hosting the World Cup in Qatar? Yes, I do understand. It's a fact of life that major events always come with sacrifices. Sure, alcohol restrictions and expensive travel were annoying for some, but think of the money that was pumped into the local economy. The center of attention, Qatar? Huge potential for development, advancement, and growth. When evaluating these global phenomena, we should consider their immediate and future effects.

Naturally, FIFA would benefit financially from having more affluent supporters. But let's not forget to make the World Cup enjoyable for people of all backgrounds and socioeconomic levels. Keep it open and varied, please.

If you compare between hosts who will hold the World Cup, there will always be advantages and disadvantages, and that is normal.

Many people doubted them at first, but after the World Cup arrived they were very prepared with all the preparations they had made. America does have facilities that are ready and it only remains to give a few touches, but this returns to their seriousness in preparing everything.

Qatar 2022 World Cup was brilliantly hosted which will go down in history. We want every World Cup to be organized exceptionally well by the FIFA authorities. It is not a matter of how many countries will host the next World Cup. But the main thing is that we can enjoy a quality World Cup. Hope FIFA doesn't disappoint us football fans.

Have link or source about new format on FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States? I want to read all detail because this time drastically difference than previous edition with participants still 32 national team. Upcoming FIFA World Cup have 48 national teams participants and based on I read each group will not filled by 4 national teams. Seems confused to understood about what the rule of FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States and how many days will needed for next World Cup after participant adding. Seems for final venue will held in United State and disappointed when becoming host more than two countries.

the world cup usually lasts for about a month. Beggining mid-June and ending mid-July, but the exact dates can vary depending on the host country and scheduling.
I'd expect something similar to happen again in 2026.

as usual 32 teams will be playing
