The chances of a World Cup coming to Kansas City have notably improved.
Kansas City is on a short list of potential 2026 World Cup host cities, even after the options were trimmed Wednesday by United Bid, a joint effort from the United States, Canada and Mexico to win the rights to the world’s largest soccer tournament. The bid’s competition — seemingly growing stronger by the month — will come from Morocco, with the final fate to be determined by a vote this summer.
Kansas City — and more specifically Arrowhead Stadium — is one of 23 sites included in the official bid book submitted to FIFA.
