SEATTLE (AP) — FIFA and CONCACAF are inching closer to making the final call on which cities in the U.S., Canada and Mexico will host matches for the 2026 World Cup, with decisions expected sometime next spring.
The FIFA and CONCACAF delegation wrapped up its second set of site visits Monday in Seattle, which is seen as one of the strongest candidates for hosting matches due to its soccer history, favorable summertime weather and as the sole city in the Pacific Northwest to bid.
FIFA chief tournaments and events officer Colin Smith said all site visits should be completed by the end of November, with a decision expected sometime toward the end of March or early April.
