FIFA president Gianni Infantino is open to the idea of having a 40-team World Cup come 2026, and the United States may be one of the host nations.

Per the Associated Press, Infantino said on Tuesday that FIFA will consider a co-hosted World Cup by the U.S., Mexico and Canada in what would be the first time three nations shared hosting duties. South Korea and Japan co-hosted the cup in 2002 -- the only time we've seen multiple hosts in one tourney.
