I think that this is a new innovation, so i believe that they want to make it to be easy for people so that they can be able to host the world cup very easy, the way I'm seeing it, so therefore i believe, it will be able have a different from the one we have already seen or host last year which is 2022 it was nice and coordinated the way it was organised before.so they are looking up to standards.

As the FIFA World Cup have got over, players will move towards different clubs for their regular championship. Separate team will be playing for the country to get qualified for the FIFA 2026. More players who had been part of the 2022 World Cup won't be available in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. More senior players leave and turn to be the coach and different other positions. And now it's too early to pick the team for each nation.

It is not possible for Argentina to achieve what they achieved in this world cup in the next world cup. In the next world cup it can even be a shock that a team a small team that has never been showing good performance can be the team to win the World cup. Just like Morocco that was close to the finals.

Indeed, you should try to give up Messi as the team's foundation in attack, if they don't immediately get a strategy or new players who can fill the void, it seems that it will be increasingly difficult to defend the world cup title. I'm not sure if Argentina will keep the same performance in the 2022 world cup and surely there will be more and more senior players who might retire, not only messi in that discussion.

This is still very surprising to me for team to be moving form one country to another which do not make it the regular world cup that we used to know. I think there is reason for that which should be disclosed to us but still don't know. Anyhow the FIFA set the next world cup to be depend on them. I hope to see old country that had taken the world cup to win this time.

Well, this is exactly what my concern was and i stated it few pages back, but another user( cant recall the name right now) replied and said that the world cup tournaments have become bigger than every single country in the world, and as that, it is no longer a tournament that should be hosted by one country alone, he finds nothing wrong in FIFA deciding to host the 2026 world cup in three different countries.

Personally, like ive said before, tourists, that is those who will be traveling to view the match played live would be the ones at a loss, as they wont be able to watch all the games, international journalists/news outlets are gonna have to spend much more too, as they will have to hire more hands, fly each of them to one of this countries each so they can be able to cover all the happenings in this three countries, if they dont do it this way, logistics might end up being a big problem for them.
This is my thought though.    

The US, Mexico and Canada are not countries that are super strict with their rules, they prioritize the satisfaction of visitors who are in their countries because it is part of marketing. in fact I'm sure the fans will be allowed to bring liquor and even flares into the stadium, very different from Qatar. hosting the 2026 world cup will definitely be a huge success again and there will be no controversy.

why did they do that? How will teams be moving from one country to another country
Or maybe the pool matches will happen in one country - the quarterfinal in another and the semifinal and final in another country - but this means that teams will be traveling as soon as the match ends.

 

What nonsense is this guy talking? in africa as i am african we all know that the only teams that are dominant are nigeria, camer, senegal, ivory coast, ghana, egypt, morocco, tunisia, so these are the teams that will always be in the world cup with this new model and no doubt these teams have no chance of reaching the world cup final, so what the hell is this guy talking about?

we all know that in africa soccer federations there is a lot of corruption that even for players to be able to play in their country's team to represent the world cup they need to pay large amounts of money or they will not be called up to play and this gentleman knows that and it does nothing, we all know that in the local African leagues the teams are beggars, they are so poor that they cannot pay the players meager wages and cannot pay the prize when a team wins the league

this gentleman as president of CAF does nothing but watch everything, we all know about the corruption for the organization of the African games, the countries with the most money in Africa benefit from a lot thanks to corruption, he is still dreaming of winning the cup of the world while there is still so much to be resolved internally? he can go on dreaming into infinity, it's just an impossible dream so soon

Usually in the early rounds or the group phase the spectators will focus on the national team from their country and if a team from that country plays in Mexico then they will be in Mexico first until the group phase is over and after that see which country will be the venue for their country, not a hard thing in my opinion. I haven't seen whether Mexico or Canada will only get a spot for group stage matches, if so then spectators will only need visas in two countries.
If anyone says Argentina will win the next World Cup again, it's only the people from Argentina and as far as I know, no country has been able to win 2x in a row apart from Brazil and Italy but that was a long time ago.

Since I have been watching World Cup it only one country that normally host the world,  now am confuse how will three countries host the world cup.  That means people that will come watch the world cup can only be in one country that will only host few matches. One country hosting world is the best , for visitors to watch all matches live.

even though the 2026 world cup is a little different there will be many pros and cons of course, actually there is no problem if it has to be held in 3 countries because it can provide opportunities for other countries to be able to host the world cup of course it will bring in a lot of money coming in from the audience for the host country too , I support this change even though what you think will be difficult for Americans to travel everywhere but if they are football lovers, of course it will be easy for them

It is about the security measures and the reaction of the building company to the accidents.
For example, in the United States it is common for workers to have a health insurance provided by their employers, so in case of accident a worker will get the medical attention needed for them to survive.

The problem in Qatar was the fact they "hired" a huge percentage of foreign workers, immigrants who did not have the same legal benefits a worker would have in North-America. It was allegedly an inhumane treat.

Well, the fact that the USA has a certain number of hours of difference is something common, except that Canada and Mexico are not that different either, with respect to Argentina, it is obvious that it will always be one of the favorite teams, and that it will always They will be observed to be able to determine the eighth strongest teams, the same case is for Brazil, the other case is for some teams like Italy, like Portugal, (I hope they have enough strength to qualify) as well as how they will expand the quotas It is a very good opportunity for them to do it without any type of restriction, the playoffs will be very close, we will be able to see new teams that have never even gone to a World Cup.

An African team can reach FIFA World Cup 2026 final, believes CAF president Patrice Motsepe

I believe a more lenient process will be attached to it; they don't expect people to not enjoy the value of their money, and it will only scare people away from going to watch the games unless they're on a free trip, as in the case of country's supporter fans in the World Cup. If it becomes a selection process for everyone to decide where they want to watch the World Cup, it will undoubtedly worsen as more people will prefer to watch mostly the final stages of these matches.

I really don't know how the audience are going to watch the match, because those who in United States of America cannot travel to and fro to watch the matches among the three countries. And since USA has the highest number of matches in the tournament, the final three matches will be played in USA. Since there are three countries that are hosting the great tournament this this team, the tournament will be more interested because each country will want to make more interesting than the other.
Those who are saying that Argentina will win the next world cup are just playing because the teams that will spring up to beat Argentina will shock everyone..

That is the main thing - when Ronaldo is on the field then the eyes and camera are on him and when Messi is on the field all eyes are towards him too.
But portugal won one of their matches against SUI when Ronaldo didnot play - so they will be able to find more alternative and young blood will get a chance to play the important matches

The extra money is one thing. Next one is the Visa process, it isn't easy to enter these countries same as one enters Qatar or an Asian country. The upcoming FIFA World Cup will surely be a big hurdle for each and everyone who have got plans to watch it. Anyhow we've got more years and the countries might come with more plans to ease out things.

Even if it is way too early for this thread I really hate the idea of where they are going.

2-3 countries for a World cup is absurd in my opinion.

Imagine a guy who wants to follow the dream and wants to watch the 7 games until the final... he needs to travel the half-world for it, and pay a lot of extra money for it.

When any team belongs to remarkable player, different kind of motivation works within the team which can motivate even the weaker players to great deeds. Messi's role in the Argentine team is similar. When Messi is in the team, it is not impossible to expect good things from the other players because of the spiritual stimulation. It remains to be seen how the mentioned players play in the upcoming World Cup. The extent of Messi's contribution to the team will also be quantifiable.
