This is a modal window.

CONCACAF president Victor Montagliani is confident of a co-hosted 2026 World Cup in the region.

The United States, Mexico and Canada are "aiming" to bid this year to host the 2026 World Cup together, CONCACAF president Victor Montagliani has said.

The three North American countries have long been expected to make a joint bid, with FIFA president Gianni Infantino having encouraged multi-nation bids for an expanded 48-team World Cup.

Montagliani, a Canadian who was elected to oversee the North, Central America and Caribbean confederation last year, told The Guardian that plans to submit a bid to FIFA before the end of the year were on track.
