That world cup will be crazy because traveling between 3 countries to watch the games isn't a good option for all. I have no idea why FIFA decide to make it this way, but I don't like at all the format.

Even for the players will be complex to play in Mexico in high altitudes and hot temperatures, and then move to Canada for another match at low temperatures. I can't imagine the teams who get to the final, traveling each 2 days on plain, that would be hard for them.
Now itself the players should focus on playing at different climatic conditions in the consecutive matches with little rest. This is really hard for the players to perform well, because they need to adopt to the changing climatic conditions in a short time period. More 16 teams make it more interesting and gives opportunity to more new teams.

Sometimes we might assume that four years is a long time but before you know what going on we are already in the world cup year. I am very pleased Africa would have more slots and hopefully, my country would be able to qualify for this great tournament. Sadly, most of the world's greatest footballers might not be available for the next world cup but within the next few years, we might start having a new crop of world-class footballers.

The world cup has a way of forcing countries to make their visa requirements or immigration policy more flexible. The US and other co-host would reduce their entry requirements. Qatar did a good job but I am sure the performance of the US would be far better.
the one thing I liked about Qatar is - they banned beer in the stadium - although people longed for it. But then they realized they lived their lives too.
So this should be banned in stadium to have a better experience and to avoid harassment and to avoid unpleasant experiences.

Qatar was a Muslim country and therefore then ban drinking beer publicly in the stadium as beer is not considered good in their religion.
However, we cannot expect the same type of restrictions being implemented in United states or Canada. Beer is much popular here and i don't think they will ban beer in that world cup.

Qatar was very interesting, things I never expected in the competition took place, and it is mind blowing. Mexico,  Canada and USA will be interesting too and more competitive because more teams are becoming stronger. We saw that from the world cup competition in Qatar.

There will be more teams in this world cup and this means the competition will be more. Also, i will be interested to know that qualification matches will be more tense as more teams will be able to qualify this time.

I am in love with this initiative already this way more suspense, more surprises and more matches will bring about more fun to the 2026 world cup. Qatar was so entertaining and suspense filled and since it is co-hosted by Mexico, Canada and USA it will spice up the  competition including the increased number of participating nations.

The Fifa world cup 2026 will be co-hosted by three nations United States, Canada and Mexico.

Key Highlights

1- This will be the first time we will see 48 teams in the tournament, instead of 32.
2- There will be a total of 80 matches to be played in this Fifa world cup.
3- United States will host 60 Matches
4- Canada and Mexico will host 10 matches each.


Qualification

The qualification process for the FIFA 2026 world cup has not been finalized but this is for sure that more teams will be able to fulfill their dreams of playing in the Fifa world cup.

We shall discuss everything from qualification, preparation, and then the commencement of the actual Fifa world cup in 2026.  Smiley

This is just one of its kind in the history of football, more teams to feature in the World Cup is a great one and admire it a lot. Most countries will be able to compete in the World Cup for the first time in 2026.
I can only imagine three nations hosting it, with one country hosting 60 matches and the remaining two countries hosting 10 matches each. Perhaps the final 20 matches will be played in these two countries rather than moving between the three countries throughout the competition. Let us wait and see how FIFA decides to handle this.

Thanking in advance.

It is always good to try something new just like the say that changes is constant in life,the most interesting part of the matches will be played in U.S.A,while the Group stage will be played in the three different countries, I guess,there might be a certain number of people that will be accepted in the world cup.

We shouldn't think that using the three country will be a big challenge in the tournament,we will have 48 countries to be present in the world cup,the population will be more than those that went to Qatar because all the 48 countries fans and supporters will love to go from different part of the world. Like said USA and Canada have more population than Qatar and,only one country will not be able to contain these countries because on their own,they are already have large population.
This is going to be an amazing opportunity for 3 countries who got chance to host world cup 2026. As we know football os the most famous sport in the world and football fans are crazy to go watch games ,this initiative will help  3 countries to host football and earn revenues . In this way load will not be on one country as football grounds and setup for world cup is a heavy task financially. 
This will definitely promote tourist and may be visa policy will be flexible this time for football fans.

Any reason why they decided to host the 2026 FIFA world cup in three different countries?
"We are in the 21st century, and we should shape the World Cup for the 21st century. Football is more than Europe and South America; football is global." - Gianni Infantino

I'm not entirely in agreement with his statement since each region also have their qualification matches before they make it to the original 32-team list. The process weeds out weaker teams so the fans only get to watch the best teams with top quality football. Adding 14 more teams would probably just diminish that.

I'm Just confused about Russia, are they still banned for 2026?

Because this is 1st world cup event in 3 countries, how can they handle flight and match?
Because I have to think how tired a team is if wants to meet from the last match in Canada and have a flight to Mexico which need 5 hours flight. Maybe, the official has a plan to reduce tiredness on a busy schedule for the team like a private plane or ease of transportation to reduce the tired.

And, the final match is also interesting to guess, we know the USA has been the host of the world cup 1994 (Rose Bowl Stadium, California). there is a possibility that they are not allowed to be the final host again, while Mexico has a world cup host in 1970 and 1986 also. so I have to guess the opening and final ceremonies in Canada.

but it was an easy thing to get Qatar visa and stay there. While for the fans getting a Canada visa and USA visa is not an easy thing. Also would USA and Canada be welcoming people from all over in such a big number like Qatar did?
Qatar is a small country - while USA and Canada are big countries getting security and taking care of people is. not an easy things.


Was it easy for fans to get a visa for Qatar? I'm not so sure. I didn't go there but I remember some news about a lot of fans not being able to get in Qatar because they didn't have their passes in time. I don't know if that was because of a lot of requests but I know that many people paid a lot of money for a card and accommodation just to be denied entry to Qatar.

Give all before death


I don't think the world cup would be interesting like this. They should have just left it for just one country to host. Well, let's see how it goes. As for the the 48 teams instead of  32, I like it. It would make it possible for more countries to be part of the tournament. The world cup is always an interesting tournament no matter what but it's going to be really difficult to see a world cup more interesting than the one we just had in Qatar. I'm a big fan of the world cup and I always anticipate it. I hope the next one proves me wrong and becomes more interesting than that of Qatar.
I do had the same thought. Just for twenty matches adding two more countries isn't needed. Those 20 matches in Mexico and Canada isn't gonna make any big contribution to the nations. Qatar have done with perfection, but human lives lost during the process hasn't received proper compensation. Anyhow USA will try to make it better than the World Cup in Qatar. As one of the user mentioned the Visa process will surely be a hindrance for football fans around the world to reach USA for watching the matches.

I think FIFA is intentionally doing it with 48 teams instead of 32 in order to promote football even more,even in countries which had never a possibility to be in such a huge event like the World Cup and I agree with this policy they are taking for this upcoming World Cup.
...

If countries that are less interested in football get a chance to participate in this tournament, interest in football will increase in those countries. I think this is a very correct point of view. I support this approach. In addition, the world cup organization held in Qatar showed us the success of the Asian and African teams. I look forward to seeing more teams from these continents. If the name of this organization is the World Cup, we should make it a real world game. If that happens, we will enjoy this tournament more.

World Cup 2026 edition will be so different than previous editions since it is scheduled to take place in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. It will be the first time that the World Cup will be held in three countries in my opinion it will attract more football fans to at least watch one of the 80 matches in stadium.
It's also a chance for more teams that had no chance before to participate in this big football event. The final match of this event is scheduled at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the stadium has a great style for fans and gives them a better watching experience. I'm already excited for it to be honest and hopefully i would get a chance to watch the finals

If Argentina had not won this just concluded edition of the world cup, it would have been difficult to win this upcoming one with the more teams they will have to play. With the increased matches each team will have to play, Players will get more fatigued, and the chances of injuries will be higher in the competition. I do not know who brought up this idea, but I hope they already have a plan to make it work because for the period which the competition will hold, they will be a lot of rowdiness.

As far as I know Fifa will increase the maximum of 1 match for the team to be champion
Instead of 7 games as usual, it will be 8 games in total.

The group stage will probably have the same 3 matches, what will be different is the group format, and the new 32-team stage, instead of the round of 16, will be round of 32.

Probably 12 groups of 4 teams
Will be classified the best 2 teams of each group + the best 8 3rd places = total 32 teams

Very weird format, but this is acceptable and viable to have 48 countries participating

Any reason why they decided to host the 2026 FIFA world cup in three different countries?

With this move, i personally think the experience wouldn't be as fun as the currently ended Qatar 2022 world cup, most especially for those that would want to travel to watch the match being played live, travelling back and forth between this countries for the sole purpose of watching a football match wouldn't just be stressful and would also consume a lot of money.

Anyways, we are looking forward to the game once again, ,may God keep each and every one of us alive till then so we could all share in the fun.

this is also am curious about. 3 countries for this upcoming world cup. it would be expensive for a lot of fans following this event. i hope the committee will still change their minds on this matter. also, this may be a long event as there are more teams competing with each other. so yeah, fatigue and injuries should be expected from this event. but let us see how these 3 countries will make this world cup a different experience to the athletes as well as football fans.
