		</div><p>The football associations of the United States, Canada and Mexico have announced their intention to submit a joint bid to host the 2026 World Cup.</p>
<p>The CONCACAF countries confirmed their plan to bring the tournament to North America at a press conference at One World Trade Centre in New York.</p>
<p>US Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati, Mexico&#8217;s Decio De Maria and Canada&#8217;s Victor Montagliani announced the unified bid, which would represent the first time three nations jointly host a FIFA competition.</p>
<p>The proposal will see the US host 60 games, with 10 each in Canada and Mexico<br />
The World Cup was last held in the region at USA 94, while Mexico hosted in 1970 and 1986. Canada hosted the 2015 women&#8217;s World Cup.</p>
<p>&#8220;Canada has already proven itself as a formidable host for the world&#8217;s game, setting FIFA records for attendance at the Under-19 Women&#8217;s World Championship in 2002, the FIFA Under-20 World Cup in 2007, and the FIFA Women&#8217;s World Cup in 2015,&#8221; said Montagliani.</p>
<p>&#8220;We look forward to continuing our successful collaboration with fellow CONCACAF member associations under the FIFA Council principles for joint bids and to continue our tradition of hosting record-breaking international events.&#8221;</p>
<p>The bid provides a stark contrast to President Donald Trump&#8217;s promise to build a border wall between the USA and Mexico. But Gulati said that President Trump is &#8220;supportive&#8221; of the bid and had &#8220;encouraged&#8221; it.<br />
The 2026 tournament will be the first of the new 48-team, 80-game format. The final decision to name the hosts will be made in May 2020.</p>
