CONCACAF favours 2026 World Cup bid with U.S., Mexico, Canada - Moggio

CONCACAF general secretary Philippe Moggio has said that he favours a three-way 2026 World Cup bid with Mexico, the United States and Canada, echoing comments made last week by new CONCACAF president Victor Montagliani.

FIFA's decision last week to expand the 2026 tournament -- to 48 teams from 32, playing 80 games instead of 64 -- increased the chances of co-hosting to share the load.

The U.S. has said they will aggressively bid for hosting rights for the 2026 World Cup and CONCACAF officials believe that the chances of success with the three-way bid increase with the recently-approved changes.
