2026 that's the magic number. Today 4/10/17 the USA, Mexico and Canada have placed a joined bid for the 2026 World cup. Yes it is a couple of years from now 9yrs to be exact but just knowing that there's a big possibility that a World Cup can be played in my country is exiting!!! Now keep in mind this is only a bid which means that we are only presenting the idea and research as to why we would be good candidates to host this prestigious tournament. Could we have presented the idea of only the USA? I do think so but isn't it something better than nothing. USA, Mexico and Canada have a great advantage and is more likely to win the bid here are some reasons why.

  1. Neither Europe or Asia can place a bid since they will be hosting in the upcoming 2018 and 2022 World Cups
  2. Infrastructure
  3. Logistics
  4. Security
  5. Technology

The bid presented suggested that the USA will host 60games, Mexico10 games and Canada 10 Games allowing FIFA to save money since the countries mentioned already have Soccer ready stadiums. USA and Mexico have had  successful World Cups alone so many are asking why it has been presented together. It could be politics which I wouldn't want to discuss that here. It is understandable why Canada has to do it with USA. Canada currently doesn't have a league.
Montreal Fc, Toronto FC and Vancouver Whitecaps play in the MLS.

I cannot wait till the day FIFA announces that the bid is accepted. Meanwhile lets stay hopeful because I will be making plans for 2026.
