The Mexican federation president was joined by his Canadian and American counterparts to offer updates on the unified bid for the 2026 World Cup
TORONTO — Mexican federation president Decio de Maria clearly recalls that April afternoon atop the Freedom Tower in New York City when his nation joined the United States and Canada in announcing a joint bid to host the 2026 World Cup.
He went about the proceedings with a sense of calm satisfaction — up until the point organizers revealed the U.S. would host 60 matches under the proposal, with Mexico and Canada getting 10 apiece.
