— FIFA officials announced today that North Texas was one of the locations chosen to help host the 2026 World Cup, bringing the world's foremost soccer tournament to the Metroplex.
The hosting duties for the 2026 Cup will be split between the United States, Canada, and Mexico, making this the first time the tournament has been shared by three countries. The U.S. team has yet to win a World Cup. The last -- and so far only -- time the American team made it into the top four was in 1930, where they took third place after finishing with a better record than the other losing semifinalist, Yugoslavia.
Hosts rotate each tournament and go through an extensive selection process. First, the national soccer association of each country interested in hosting receives an agreement form from FIFA's Council which explains the process and requirements. The country's bidding association submits a separate form that officially enters them into consideration.
