Canada part of winning World Cup bid for 2026 men’s soccer showcase
The World Cup is coming to Canada.
FIFA’s member associations voted 134 to 65, with one no-vote, Wednesday in favour of the joint North American bid by Canada, the U.S. and Mexico to host the 2026 World Cup over that of Morocco at the FIFA Congress in Moscow.
“Football today is the only victor,” said U.S. Soccer president Carlos Cordeiro.
Morocco, which has now lost five bid campaigns, was classy in defeat — congratulating the North American winners.
