US, Canada, Mexico call Monday press conference for "historic announcement"

The reported tri-nation North American World Cup hosting bid isn’t official just yet, but it might be on Monday.

The federations of Canada, Mexico and the United States announced on Saturday that their respective presidents will make an “historic announcement” at One World Observatory atop the One World Trade Center in downtown New York City on Monday at 2 pm ET.

US Soccer boss Sunil Gulati, Mexican Football Federation chief Decio de Maria and Victor Montagliani, current president of the Canadian Soccer Association as well as CONCACAF, will headline the event, which is widely expected to be an official unveiling of the three nations’ joint bid to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
