On June 16, FIFA will make a major and highly anticipated announcement related to the staging of the FIFA World Cup 2026™.

According to FIFA.com, “Twenty-two candidate host cities are currently vying for the right to stage matches for the 48-team tournament hosted by three nations – both firsts for a FIFA World Cup.
