The 2026 World Cup could be held in North America, FIFA president Gianni Infantino has suggested, adding he is open to the idea of co-hosts.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino has hinted the 2026 World Cup could be held in North America.

The competition last went to the continent when the United States hosted the 1994 tournament.

The FIFA president also plans to discuss the expansion of the World Cup to 40 teams - an idea he supports - and the potential for multiple nations to share hosting duties at October's meeting of the FIFA Council.

"There is, I would say, no limit to whatever is good for football," Infantino said.
