The USA is gearing up to host the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup, and preparations are well underway.
A new taskforce, the World Cup Readiness Taskforce, has been launched in Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas, to ensure the region is prepared for the influx of visitors and the logistics of hosting the tournament.
Additionally, U.S. Soccer has launched the Soccer Forward Foundation, a legacy project aimed at making soccer more accessible and inclusive across the country.
The foundation plans to create more places to play, provide opportunities for underserved communities, and promote grassroots participation.
In terms of infrastructure, the USA has a solid foundation in place, with many world-class stadiums and training facilities already available.
The joint bid by the USA, Canada, and Mexico to host the tournament highlighted the existing infrastructure and the ability to host a successful event.
Overall, while there’s still some small work to be done, the USA appears to be on track to host a successful and memorable 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup.
