Sunil Gulati discusses concerns that politics will derail 2026 World Cup bid

The 2026 World Cup selection will take place on June 13, 2018 with the final bids due by March 16 of this year. The United States, Canada, and Mexico are submitting a joint bid in what would be a historic tournament being the first held in three nations. It seems fairly obvious that the bid would be selected. The three countries have hosted World Cups successfully before and the 1994 tournament in the U.S. was arguably the most successful ever.

With only Morocco submitting a competing bid, the joint bid seems assured to win.
