Our City is a weekly column dedicated to taking a wide-angled lens to the culture that surrounds Orlando City and Major League Soccer (and this week at least, the World Cup!).
This past week, U.S. Soccer, along with the federation’s colleagues in Mexico and Canada, launched a joint bid for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This bid would see 60 matches played in the United States, with 10 games played in both Canada and Mexico. While 2026 is more than a few years away and the bid hasn’t been accepted yet, I don’t think it is too soon to launch Orlando back into contention for being one of the host cities.
