US, Canada n mexico to host 2026 WC

wadau mnaonaje hii maneo.

by then Trump might have ruined these countries friendship beyond repair.

anyway our north african brothers ie morocco wameambiwa wakwere uko mbaaaaaali hawes toboa

The weather diff. btw. the cities haitakuwa challenge?
Unacheza round of 16 kwa 10° canada then 4 days later unacheza quarters at 30° in Mexico

Morocco has now bid unsuccessfully five times! 1994, 1998, 2006, 2010 and 2026. IMHO, they need to up their game. [SIZE=5]Today’s bid presentation was way waay weaker than the United 2026 bid! [/SIZE][SIZE=4]Even the projected profits were half those of the United Bid. Money talks![/SIZE]

The United States will host 60 of the 80 matches while Canada and Mexico will host 10 matches each. There are currently 23 candidate host cities (three in Canada, three in Mexico, and 17 in the United States) in the bid but since the bid is successful, then the number of host cities in the three countries will be cut down over time to 16, according to the bid book (three in Canada, three in Mexico, and 10 in the United States). All matches from the quarterfinals forward including World Cup Final would take place in the United States.

[SIZE=4]Meanwhile, for those not in the know, the 2026 WC will feature 48 teams, up from 32, as has been the tournament size since 1998![/SIZE]

Africa will now get 9 slots, up from 5! Good news!

Total BS. Its all fixed. World Cup will not come back to Africa again. Now its 48 teams that means more stadiums and cities to match FIFA regulations. That will be almost 15 FIFA stadium and corresponding cities that fits all those criteria.

A very poor experiment and the tournament will be very boring. Infantino and his juniors did not learn anything from the last Euro when 24 teams competed and mediocre Portugal got out of their group without winning even a single game.

Shida Niko nayo Ni games (2026) zitakua morning hours 2/3 am kama NBA games.

Hawa watu wa north america except mexico they don’t even watch football.Halafu kenya inaeza pata bahati ingia world cup juu four countries have been added kutoka africa.

I think they’ll regulate it for the sake of the time zones near the GMT (like us), similar to what they did in Brazil 2014. If you remember, games then were starting earlier such that most games were played during reasonable hours (majioni here). The worst was USA '94. The fianl was at 2am local time!!

Upuzzzzi kabisa

Football nowadays has a more level playing field. The gap between the elite teams and those ranked at the tail end is narrowing by the day. The World Cup, if it’s truly a global tournament, needs to continue to reflect this. Even with 48 teams, this still represents less than 25% of the nations. I support a bigger tournament. Even Harambee Stars now has a fighting chance of qualifying. Let’s go and get thumped 9-0 by the elites but we learn and grow from it.

Hii kenya playing with the same players itafika huko kweli?

The problem isn’t our players. It has always been the football management.

The thing is, weak teams will be proceeding to the second round even when they don’t work hard enough. A team can grind out draws to get out of its group and that will water down the overall quality of football played in the tournament.

But don’t you think that a team pulling shenanigans in the Round of 48 will eventually have to prove its mettle in the advanced knock-out rounds?

Canada, Mexico and USA are both huge countries… si wangechagua one nation out of those 3 to host all games. How will fans travel from say Montreal to Mexico City to watch a group game and travel back to watch another group game in New York?

it will, FIFA has this unofficial policy of rotation between the continents. And it’s worth noting many nations are not keen on hosting the WC, it’s an expensive liability to the host nation and offers no direct benefits except bragging rights. cc South Africa and Brazil

Harambee Stars might qualify to be among the 48 if Africa is given two more slots.

I have lost all the belief in the integrity of FIFA now, change of Face at top and idiots like me started thinking there will be a change. How come USA gets a world Cup ahead of all those countries who held it before 1994. Where is the “Equality” ?
Lets just give the next 5 world cups to them or whoever fills FIFA’s pockets, or the new super power. Probably China next …

I feel the current format is better pia kuna player fatigue I don’t know how big the squads will be but injuries zitakuwa mob.

The current format only favours 32 teams and is not a TRUE World Cup and a proper reflection of the advancement of the game, especially in fringe regions…
