Qatar has reportedly spent approx. $229 billion on World Cup infrastructure, although the World Cup Organizing Committee has not yet confirmed that figure. Many analysts and media outlets announced the total CAPEX from $220bn to $300bn for all infrastructure projects.( copied from https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.ssbm.ch/blog/is-the-fifa-world-cup-2022-in-qatar-profitable/%23:~:text%3DQatar%2520has%2520reportedly%2520spent%2520approx,bn%2520for%2520all%2520infrastructure%2520projects.&ved=2ahUKEwj1x5qc3pn8AhWIRKQEHaxxAyEQFnoECAoQBQ&usg=AOvVaw0WiGXrCLmMhAz1W3NcKf99)
So organising World cup requires alot of financial stability and developing countries who are already struggling economically can't afford this burden. I think FIFA decision is a sensible one as total burden will not go on one country plus all revenues will not go to one.
The Qatar World Cup 2022 has generated approximately $7.5 billion for FIFA through commercial deals, an increase of $1 billion from the previous World Cup in Russia in 2018(https://www.businesstoday.in)

I guess that the world cup should be done in countries that are in need of developing. This could help the countries apply the money in building structures that would benefit the country. This could be used to help developing countries.
I agree with this idea. This type of tournaments should be partially done by developing countries. Actually this one is great example, Mexico is developing country partner to developed countries like USA and Canada. Giving a tournament directly to developing country may create issues. They tend to have worse finances and completing stadiums can be great hassle. I heard that even Mexico may have issues through this 2026 tournament.

It is a nice idea to organize the World Cup in different countries. But in terms of transport, it is not optimal for the players. You will always have to travel up and down, which is not great for your preparation. And the distances between these countries can also be considerable. Mexico and a World Cup, we've already experienced that once before in 1986. I thought everything had gone pretty well then. It surprises me a little that they organize the World Cup, since America is not really a football country at all. At least, football is not among the 3 most popular sports. Maybe not even in the top 5.
When it comes to FIFA you only need to think about the money to find out why they do things they way they do, an increase in the number of teams means more matches and more money for them, however since this is the first time they are changing the format of the tournament in such a long time they are trying to distribute the burden among several countries and see how this experiment turns out, also even if the US is not a country that has a long soccer tradition, FIFA has tried for a long time for this to change as there is a lot of money for them to make if this changes, so they are trying to improve the popularity of soccer at the US with this move.

I think having more teams in World Cup sounds like good idea. But in my opinion it will drastically decrease quality of matches played in group stage. I heard that FIFA is still not sure with amount of teams to be part of groups. More teams mean lot more unnecessary matches. Imagine you are France, after 3 wins you would use your bench in last match (if groups will be 5 teams). We can't avoid this even in 4-team groups. FIFA should find a way to avoid match fixing. Gambling odds can become crazy at last matches.

This isn't going to be a diverse World Cup, it is a complicated one. Maybe in real-time we'll experience variety of matches not because of the diverse cultures getting involved. Just out of the varying climatic conditions. When the hosting rights for the 2022 FIFA World Cup was given to Qatar the first thing came into discussion is the hot climate condition which makes the audience and players suffer. But they came up with the plan and kept the entire ground in a cool condition. Maybe such kind of technology will be used as variation happens between the countries.
Qatar spent close to $250 billion to host the world cup, because they wanted to showoff their wealth. That is not the case with the three North American countries, because they are not in a good economical situation. But the advantage with United States, Canada and Mexico is that they don't need to construct any new stadiums. They already have enough quality venues to host the games. But even then, hosting a tournament with 48 participants is going to be a huge challenge. And this is the first time in recorded history that such a huge tournament is being organized.

FIFA World Cup will be held in 2026 which country will be discussed by FIFA but there is a target. Many of the three countries discussed here are Canada, Mexico, and the United States. If the United States hosts the FIFA-controlled World Cup in 2026, soccer fans will suffer. Because all countries can go to watch FIFA World Cup games, but in this case, the audience will have to suffer a lot in getting a visa. Although earlier the United States hosted the FIFA World Cup, but this time everything is different. This has raised many questions in our minds, many football lovers may be confused about getting a visa.

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.
Hosted by
Canada
Mexico
USA
The new decision made by FIFA is very important especially as some new teams will have the opportunity to play in the World Cup. But I think one thing is very complicated, the three countries are going to jointly host the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In this way, even if the schedule of the match is correct, it will be very costly for the audience. Especially booking flight tickets and flights so quickly. However, with FIFA's new decision, we can all see a new and diverse World Cup.

The FIFA world cup 2026 is going to be an interesting one looking at the number of counties that would be competing with each other. United States hosting the world cup looks very okay for me. There are still few years coming before the world cup tournament and every countries need to be preparing there team for this great events coming soon.
How do we know that is going to be interested one many of us who are alive today will not witness that cup so I don't think that this is the right time that we are supposed to be discussing something off 3 years coming so I believe that whatever thing we are just saying it was on before she had so many of the players who play in this world cup will retire before them legendary

I think it may have already been decided but I just do not know the facts, but I am pretty sure no team would have games at Canada and then after a few days in Mexico type of deal. You will play your group games in Canada for example, and then move to USA for playoff games and just finish there type of deal. We should remember that the whole USA is as big, or possibly even bigger than Europe if you do not consider Russia as Europe (which I always think shouldn't be considered).
So all in all, I am guessing that the logistics could be the hardest thing, but if it could be arranged in a good way then it should be fine, games in LA and games in New York could be the same nation, but this is not some small European nation, this is a side to side whole continent.
As long as FIFA have made and stamped the decision to have the 2026 world cup hosted and played in those three countries, I don't see logistics being a problem, except they want it to be.So all in all, I am guessing that the logistics could be the hardest thing, but if it could be arranged in a good way then it should be fine, games in LA and games in New York could be the same nation, but this is not some small European nation, this is a side to side whole continent.
2023 to 2026 is a long three good damn years to prepare, they have a lot of time at their disposal, before the set date arrives, I expect that every thing should already be in place so as to have a stress free tournament.
So indeed, I don't see logistics being a problem at all, except if they fold their hands now and wait until the last minute to start preparing.

Their something i want to understand from this your explanation, Because i believe that hosting a world it's a continent that host the cups and the continent is hosting it, it's only one country that will host it, or the cup is something that three or four countries come together to host a cup, Because making a reference of this countries here, that means a world cup it's not one country that will be responsible of hosting cup.
You have to update your self more on the next FIFA world cup. The world cup is going to be co hosted by three countries and those are Canada Mexico and USA. You can check online and read about it more. This is the first time for three countries to co host the FIFA world cup but it is not the first time to try the co host strategy for the world cup. In 2002, it was co hosted by south Korea and Japan, the opening match was in South Korea and the final was played in Japan.

I'm still wondering what the reasons are behind the 3 countries that will host the world cup in 2026 because as far as I know, the US is a country that is quite rich and can definitely be the sole host of the world cup.
Maybe FIFA is experimenting with this because this is the first time it will be done for three countries to host the FIFA world cup. Apart from this, Canada will have a feel of hosting the world cup with this in 2026 because Mexico hosted in 1986 and I remember USA hosted that of 1994. But what I observe is that USA is going to host most of the matches, like 60 matches. This is making it look like a world cup hosted by USA.

Specifically, FIFA can host the World Cup in any of the three countries. But our main problem is that if the World Cup is allowed to be held in the USA in 2026, football lovers will suffer because it takes a lot of effort to get a US visa. Because the United States is playing a more important role in today's law than in the past. That is why it is being said that if football lovers do not get visas, will there be support in the United States?

Qatar hosted the World Cup in 2022 in a grand manner and spent a lot of money to build several stadiums suitable for the World Cup. It was decided to play the final at Lusa Stadium. But the next World Cup in 2026 would be best if the USA hosted the three countries. Because they can control themselves from the beginning to the end. But one thing that will become a problem is the visa. Football fans should have a little trouble with this one.
In 2026, I don't think anyone will invest as much as Qatar to host the FIFA World Cup. Qatar has finished the tournament beautifully and successfully with their maximum. Qatar, however, brought some coolness in getting their visas for the FIFA World Cup. In this case, I do not know how the matter of USA and Canada is going to be. But I think if they are gonna host of the FIFA World Cup they can also bring some coolness in getting visa for the outside world to participate in it too.Currently, getting a visa in the United States is a lot of trouble. But if the United States becomes the host of FIFA World Cup 2026 in that place, then it must be forced to bring some flexibility during the FIFA World Cup. In this case, there is no option in terms of justice because flexibility is definitely needed, otherwise it will be very difficult for football lovers to enter the USA from the far corners of the world in the midst of so much suffering.
The biggest problem we'd have would be judging if the US were to host the Games. Because if football lovers can't enter the United States then World Cup 2026 will cause people to cry. Because the United States has very strict laws regarding justice. But Qatar also has strict laws but has shown a lot of flexibility for the World Cup. What do you think the United States will do?
