The "door is wide open'' for a joint bid for the 2026 World Cup from the United States, Canada and Mexico, according to the president of CONCACAF Victor Montagliani.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino says world football's federations are ''overwhelmingly in favour'' of expanding the World Cup to a potential 48 teams, a structural change which could be implemented for the 2026 tournament.
There has not been a World Cup hosted in more than one nation since the 2002 finals were awarded to Japan and South Korea. The USA held the event in 1994 and also lost out to Qatar in the final round of bidding for the 2022 World Cup.
