USA, Canada and Mexico are on pole to get the World Cup in 2026.
The extended
48-country World Cup in 2026 is set to be staged in three countries for
the first time, with the USA sharing the tournament with Canada and
Mexico.
The
FIFA council made a unanimous decision on Tuesday to increase the
tournament by 16 countries, while a three-way hosting was described as a
'definite possibility'.
Penalty
shootouts may also be introduced to decide group-stage matches and
avoid teams playing out a draw in the final round of games to ensure
both progress.
The format will be 16 groups of three with the top two
progressing to a knockout round of 32.
