With the news that the 2026 World Cup is officially coming to the United States, Mexico and Canada, a joint statement Wednesday indicates Denver will push to host matches in the quadrennial international soccer tournament.
The United Bid on Wednesday won FIFA approval in a landslide 134-65 vote, marking the first time three nations will share the event.
A statement released by the Colorado Rapids, the Denver Sports Commission and the Stadium Management Company said Denver is among approximately 23 cities in consideration to host World Cup games eight years from now.
“Denver is a world-class city and soccer destination,” the statement said.
