Dutch Eagle Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) FIFA just selected USA, Mexico and Canada to host the 2026 World Cup. It will be the first time for Canada to host the World Cup, the second time for USA (1994) and the third time for Mexico (1970 and 1986). I think that the 48-nations World Cup was beneficiary for the selection of these three countries with already a lot of stadiums that can be filled with +50K spectators. Hope my friends in the new world can grab some games. Edited June 13, 2018 by Dutch Eagle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Eagle Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) @moderator: can you change some things in the name of the topic to 2026 (my bad as it is so far away) and Usa to USA (bad of the system)? Thanx! Edit: Could change it to 2026 but not to USA...... Edited June 13, 2018 by Dutch Eagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Big disappointment by the mayor of Chicago who refused to be part of the 2026 World Cup bid. As a result no 2026 WC games will take place in Chicago. The closest city to me will probably be Kansas City. Really disappointing as I had a great time in 1994, when I saw all 5 WC games that were played in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soprano76 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I don't get it... Why didn't Rahm Emmanuel want Chicago to host any games? Very disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphonse Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 That’s a real surprise about Chicago! USA 94 was incredible, I fell in love with that tournament, I hope I can attend this WC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawk Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Will most likely skip the 2026 WC since Chicago will not host any games. If Greece makes I might consider attending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soprano76 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I remember reading that FIFA wasn’t going to give the city enough of a cut of the revenue. It’s a shame because Soldier Field is in a beautiful location on the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 It was a decision by the city mayor not have the world cup in Chicago. Stupid move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
