After starting with candidates from 44 cities and 49 stadiums, the process to select venues began in 2017. Potential applicants were asked to give information about each city's transportation infrastructure, past experience hosting major sporting and cultural events, available accommodations, environmental protection initiatives, potential venues and more.
The list of North American candidates for the 2026 World Cup was narrowed to 23 by March of last year. Chicago, Minneapolis and Arizona weren't included in the list due to issues with the financial demands of the world governing body.
Charlotte, Detroit, Las Vegas and Salt Lake City weren't included in the list. After disagreements over financing, the provincial government withdrew its support for Montreal, which led to the replacement of the city byVancouver.
All candidate host cities were visited at the end of 2021.
The Baltimore bid merged with the Washington D.C. bid after FedEx Field dropped out. There would have been a fan festival in D.C.
The 1994 men's World Cup venues, including the Rose Bowl, will not be used in the upcoming tournament.
The 1970 and 1986 World Cup finals were held at Mexico City's Estadio Azteca. Mexico will be the first country to host three men's World Cup.
