The soccer World Cup is back in the U.S.
FIFA decided to grant the 2026 World Cup hosting rights to the United States' joint bid with Mexico and Canada, which overwhelmingly beat Morocco's proposal.
Most of the 207 member states of FIFA voted Wednesday in Moscow for the three-country bid during the world soccer governing body's 68th convention.
The main advantages of the North American joint bid over Morocco were infrastructure and their experience organizing international events.
Morocco needed to renovate 14 stadiums and more than 100 soccer training complexes.
The United States, Mexico and Canada already have 23 stadiums and 150 training facilities meeting FIFA's standards.
