With FIFA preparing to announce 2026 World Cup venues next month, Washington and Baltimore are in discussions about combining their respective bids and staging matches exclusively at M&T Bank Stadium.
Terry Hasseltine, who is heading Baltimore’s efforts, told the Maryland Stadium Authority’s board of directors Tuesday that he is “currently working with the District of Columbia on a partial merger.”
In an interview Wednesday, Greg O’Dell, who is leading the Washington campaign, said he and Hasseltine spoke last week and “we are definitely open to different options” after FIFA gave FedEx Field in Landover low marks last year.
