Mexico will make history as the first nation to host three times, followed by the US and Canada.
It will be the first World Cup to have 48 qualified teams following the expansion of the field from 32 to 64 teams. In this new format, 16 groups of three teams will compete with the top two teams from each group progressing to a Round of 32, which will be single elimination.

Lionel Messi became Argentina's all-time goal scorer, Mexico played here many times, and the only Manchester City-Manchester United derby outside of England was held here last year.

The Kansas City Royals won the baseball World Series in 2015, while the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs have won back-to-back Super Bowls thanks to the play of quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Two MLS Cups and four U.S. Open Cup have been won by the city's MLS team, Sporting Kansas City.

The first event at the stadium was a soccer game. Two years after the ground was broken in South Philly, Man United and Barcelona played there, and the city's connection to the sport has only grown since.

In its 20th year, Gillette lacks much of the glamor and modernity of other stadiums, but it underwent network renovations in 2016 to improve wi-fi availability and its food and drink offerings. The Revolution averaged just 18,861 in attendance last season, but they had a sellout streak dating back to 1994 and fostered one of the more atmospheric home-field advantages in the league.
Gillette has been a host of major events over the years, including the New England Revolution. Gillette has been present for both the men's and women's national team. It's a major East Coast tour stop for some of the world's biggest musical acts, it's hosted more prime time football games than can be counted, and it's also home to the premier lacrosse league in the country.

The capacity has been reduced from over 114,000 to about 87,000, and the atmosphere has become less cacophonous as a result of recent renovations. The official home of El Tri is here and it serves two of the biggest teams in the Mexican league. One of soccer's greatest cathedrals.

Despite not being a venue of choice for El Tri, it did host eight matches of the U17 World Cup as well as serving as the opening and closing ceremony site for the Pan American Games.
The only city that wasn't chosen as a tournament site for the Canadian contingent was Edmonton.

The artificial turf at BC Place is the subject of a lawsuit. The British Columbia city replaced Montreal as a candidate city because of this. BC Place will install grass to meet the requirements for the tournament. The roof can be opened or closed in a matter of minutes.
BC Place is the main stadium for both the 2010 Winter Olympics and the 2012 Paralympics, as well as the annual host of the Canada Sevens, which is part of rugby's World Sevens Series. It hosted British royalty when Prince Charles and Princess Diana attended the 1986 World expo.

An additional 17,000 people are expected to be accommodated at the stadium, which will be used for the World Cup in six years.
It is an ideal host city for the World Cup due to its close proximity to the heart of Canada's largest city and capital. It's comforting to find the in-stadium poutine in Canada.
The Canada national rugby team is one of the major events hosted here. The MLS Cup was hosted by Toronto FC, but it was also the site of the U-20 World Cup and the Women's U-20 World Cup.
