One of the biggest sporting events in the world will be played in Houston in four years. Houston’s NRG Stadium was named as one of the host sites for the 2026 World Cup on Thursday.
The 2026 World Cup will be the first one hosted by three different countries with games being played in the United States, Mexico and Canada. It will be just the second time the United States has hosted a World Cup. The only other time was in 1994 when matches were played at nine different venues with the championship being played at the Rose Bowl.
