The FIFA World Cup is coming to North America. Canada, Mexico, and the United States have been honored with hosting the world’s most extraordinary sporting event.
The bidding process for the 2026 FIFA World Cup resulted in the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) selecting the joint bid of the United States / Canada / Mexico as the host for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Two bids to host the event were submitted to FIFA, one joint bid 
from Canada, Mexico, and the United States, and one from Morocco. On June 13, 2018, at the 68th FIFA Congress in Moscow, the joint bid was selected by 134 votes to 65 for Morocco.
This will be the first tournament hosted by more than two countries and only the second hosted by more than one country — the other was the 2002 tournament, hosted by South Korea and Japan.
With this selection, each country set its own hosting records. Canada becomes the fifth country to host both the men’s and women’s World Cups — the latter in 2015; Mexico becomes the first country to host the men’s World Cup three times — having done so previously in 1970 
and 1986; and the United States becomes the first country to host both the men’s and women’s World Cups twice — having hosted the men’s in 1994 and the women’s in 1999 and 2003.
The U.S. previously hosted in 1994, and the potential for a highly profitable tournament, along with existing stadiums and infrastructure, likely played a significant role in the voters’ decision.
The ‘United’ World Cup will generate $14bn (£10.3bn) in revenue and a profit of $11bn (£8.1bn) for FIFA.
Of the 16 host cities, 10 will be in the United States, while the remainder will be evenly split between Canada and Mexico.
Sixty matches will take place in the U.S., while Canada and Mexico will host 10 matches each.
The final will be held at MetLife Stadium, with a capacity of 84,953, home to the NFL teams New York Giants 
and New York Jets.
