It makes me happy to share the world cup with my neighbor countries. Anything to bring us a little closer. 🇲🇽🇺🇲🇨🇦. The three amigos. Cheers from America.
Big mistake for the US to share hosting with Canada & Mexico. The organizers thought they will lose bidding (thanks to anti-Americanism), so they lumped neighbouring countries in the bid. Guess what? Only Morrocco was competing with the US,and we would have won it anyway. Now, let Canada and Mexico host their own national teams' group stage matches, then all he rest should be in the US.
@@sdot5389 The US is the top country in the world to be able to host the world cup by itself. how about next time it's in Germany they have it in Germany, Switzerland, and Italy instead?
The format is already known (tweaks likely around travel). While Tyler may prove correct [16 groups, 16 cities; no need to travel], I think the original plan was for groups to play in cities as close to each other as feasible on the theory that travel has always been part of the WC process. Hopping multiple time zones, however, won't likely kick in til the later rounds. 16 groups of three means every team plays two games and every group will have three match days (that one team will sit out). The worst aspect of the expansion to 48, for me, is that the two teams playing Match Day 3 will know whether a draw gets them through while the other member of their group can do nothing to stave off elimination while watching the other two teams pass the ball back and forth for 90 minutes. Similarly, if A beats B, then C beats B, then the A-C match has no stakes (aside from bracket slots). Three team groups will yield more of these dead rubber matches than the four team groups did. Top two advance to the new, single-elimination round of 32. Thus, the Round of 16 will be each team's fourth game just as in the 32-team format. Later rounds staged entirely in the US. I believe the format will be bracketed so that Mexico (for sure) and Canada play in-country through at least the Round of 16 (four games).
@@johnmaster3748 the group stage will suck. We're gonna see a lot of questionable draws. I do like the extra KO round. But personally I would've preferred a two-stage tournament with the world's top-16 teams receiving a bye to the second stage, which would then be the current format.
Fun Fact the AZTECA STADIUM is where 2 of the best players of all time have won the world cup. PELE IN THE 70'(BRAZIL) AND MARADONA IN THE 86' (ARGENTINA).
Holy they announced it literally 2 hours ago and you made this video fast…. Really nice to have the World Cup in Vancouver, I watched this tournament since I was 6 y/o and its a gift to have it be announced for my city 🙏
Some facts about Mercedes Benz in Atlanta: It's designed to support a grass pitch; it has full irrigation and drainage. In fact, the existing artificial turf is watered for every Atlanta United match to speed up the ball. Capacity-wise, for soccer it can hold at least 73,019 as that was the crowd for the 2018 MLS Cup. It's an amazing venue and we can't wait to welcome the world ... again. 30 years ago we did the Olympics and now the World Cup. Awesome stuff.
@@evannelson4203 I've been to several Atlanta United and Atlanta Falcons games with seats all over the stadium and don't recall bad sightlines anywhere. Which corners you speak of?

FIFA announced on Wednesday the 16 North American cities that will host matches for the 2026 World Cup, with 11 venues chosen in the United States, three in Mexico and two in Canada. The 2026 World Cup will be the first tournament hosted by three nations and also the first that will expand to 48 teams in the competition
Azteca has gone through lots of small changes over the past two decades and has gone from an old stadium with charm and great views to a mishmash of seating arrangements and odd choices. However, it is already scheduled to close down later this year for a complete renovation with big ambitions; I've seen plans that will transform it into something akin to SoFi Stadium.
The recent renovations from the 2010's were god awful. It looked terrible on TV and reduced the capacity from 95k to 87k. I remember when I was a kid one of the biggest sources of pride from the Azteca were that it was supposedly the "biggest stadium in the world" or at least among the top 3, now I doubt it makes the top 10. I'm curious to see what plans you're reffering to, i've seen some where they have very ambitious plans for the entire complex (shopping malls, hotels, pedestrians pace) but show nothing specific to the stadium itself, I hope they make some big changes because it's crumbling fast and is extremely outdated.
@@mariomelgarejotorres2318 I think they say that because they don't know yet what the renovations entail but it will be renovated at the end of the day wr just don't know in what fashion. Starting in 2023 America and Cruz Azul have to move out temporarily.

Gillette Stadium is actually get some renovations to the north side (where the lighthouse is). They are enclosing the part where the pathway is, increasing the size of the lighthouse, and are installing the largest outdoor videoboard in the U.S. on the enclosed pathway, among other things. It's pretty cool and will be done by 2023.
It's also where the "game of the century" between Germany and Italy took place and where Maradona scored both the greatest goal in world cup history and the hand of god and so many legends have played there. Hope they do good renovations because they're badly needed.

@@iqgamer5085 they plan to play in the old Estadio Azul but knowing América, that team will probably try to play at least some league games in the United States if it's allowed.
@@SGT676 I heard that Las Vegas originally bid but then withdrew due to a FIFA's requirement that was a bit unreasonable in my opinion. Americans are pragmatic, sometimes too pragmatic to agree on building something of little or no use. FIFA made bigger leeway to Qatar.
@@lactran7475 Chicago did the same, despite being one of America’s biggest cities. They didn’t want to deal with FIFA’s requirements to submit a bid. Same for Montreal in Canada.
I live near Seattle. The infrastructure around Lumen field where, the Sounders and Seahawks play, is great. Light rail train, busses, plenty of hotels, parks, great atmosphere etc. And it's a few hours away from Vancouver BC I'm super excited.
I plan on making it to Vancouver for the cup. I'm from Edmonton and the snub still stings but Vancouver has the better venue and infrastructure and ability to create a local rivalry with Seattle nearby... Get some better HSR's running and you'd have yourself a successful Greater Cascadia party town!
This is going to be an awesome world cup. Great stadiums, great for local fans and for visiting fans. 48 participating countries is great for a one-off! (I hope they'll reduce back to 32 In later world cups though)
FIFA reducing the size of the field will never happen. More teams in the WC means more money they can squeeze out of more people. IAH, it wouldn't even surprise me if they expanded the field again before I shuffle off this mortal coil, because FIFA just loves money.
@@someguy5487 Yes, i know it's idle hope. Now that it has been decided let's enjoy a world cup of 48 teams. North America is the perfect place for that.

This will shatter the attendance-record for world cups, not only because there will be more teams and thus more games, but also because all stadiums are on steriods(except the "tiny" 45k one)
I wish Orlando had been picked for the States, especially since by 2026, it will be an even more massive place for Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, etc and the tourism and the WC fans would have loved it!
@@benmangrum8626 yeah probably would have been better to host in Orlando too cause in my state of Texas Dallas and Houston aren’t the most attractive places. Especially Houston in my opinion but same goes for Dallas .
@@hmdwgf Yes. It was a revolutionary idea for the day. Stadiums built in the 60s and 70s tended to be very ugly (but functional) concrete donut style stadiums, so the Astrodome and Pontiac Silverdome really stood out. The city of Houston is working on converting the Astrodome into a civic center, now that it no longer hosts sports.
I hope they give Mexico at least one Brazil and one Argentina game for old times sake, preferably Brazil in Guadalajara, that's like their second home.
Can I suggest a video about something like all stadiums of top playoff teams. Like for example all football stadiums of CFB playoffs teams since the start. And can you do a video about the new realigned conference aka B12 and AAC. Do sunbelt too if you can. Love the vids!

hello to the all our fellow Canadians and the US Americans that we'll be sharing the world cup with, I lived relatively near to the Akron stadium when i was a child so seeing it on the world cup is such a joy and I bet lots of people from the other cities feel similarly
@@fixpacifica It's the dumbest stadium. No where near SF. Public trans is terrible to and from (haven't been there since the last time the Chiefs played there before this season (Alex Smith was still QB.) It's surrounded by a bunch of 5 story office cloned buildings. So there wasn't really anywhere to go or anything to do pregame if you're not into tailgating (at that time.)
One thing people will appreciate about the stadiums in Dallas, Houston and Atlanta is that they are all indoors and climate controlled. Considering the dreadful summer heat in Texas and the intense summer humidity in Atlanta, the fans and players will appreciate it- I guarantee the roofs on those stadiums will not open during this WC- they don’t open for the NFL season until late in the year, when it isn’t so hot. Kansas City, Miami, Guadalajara and the northeastern cities- Toronto and Boston less so might be a problem, and Monterrey- unless they play the games in the morning or at night will be absolutely dreadful. Also- SoFi Stadium isn’t an indoor stadium like the properly indoor stadiums are- its roof is more like a canopy. You’re still outside in that stadium- and unlike the Rose Bowl, which sees intense heat in summer SoFi doesn’t see intense heat because of its proximity to the ocean. LA is in a hilly desert and has a dry Mediterranean climate. The weather difference between areas in LA within 5 miles from the Pacific and areas at least 25 miles from the Pacific is quite big. The weather in areas within about 5 miles from the Pacific doesn’t often go past 80 degrees, and the further away you go from the Pacific there the hotter it gets. Pasadena, where the Rose Bowl is often sees summer temps past 100 degrees and is only 25 miles from the Pacific.
As a Miami native, knowing a couple games will be played in Miami is so cool to hear, Hard Rock Stadium is on the more elite side of stadiums on this list. Although i expect most playoff games to be played on La Azteca, Vancouver and Newyork but oh well
The 3rd Canadian host was Montreal’s to give up & they did… So silly how they didn’t want a once in a lifetime event coming to the city. Especially as they have played host to the Olympics, F1, World Expo etc etc.
They had 2 options. Saputo Stadium could have been expanded to well over 40,000, if they removed the original stand and built a 2 tier setup, or Stade Olympique, which could easily have been 60,000+ or even the original 73,000, if they reverted to the original Olympic capacity. But one assumes they didn't want the headache of upgrading either.
@@LordDavid04 The reason was the same as when Vancouver didnt bid initially for world cup, since thry didnt like FIFA terms for becoming the host. Vancouver changed its mind after covid hit and wanted to boost tourismand FIFA also probably lowered expectations on some things
Excited to see some matches as MetLife Stadium, which is fantastic if you've never been. Levi's Stadium is godawful because most of the seats are completely baking in the sun all the time.
Originally the FedEx Field in Washington DC was also part of the venue for FIFA 2026 but it was pulled out due to the stadium condition being crap with poor conditions, pipe leak, barricade failing, poor transportation to get there, grass field is so horrid that NFL players in there get injured because of it, and more
Talk about poor transportation, how was Houston picked lmao, can't get anywhere there unless you have a car. I would have taken away Philly/Boston and Houston and give another stadium to Mexico and Canada, or another midwestern city
finals will probably be in Arlington, Tx and Atlanta, GA since they have some of the largest stadiums with the one in Texas being the largest. With retractable roofs they are the safest options too
Sofi in LA can expand up to 100,000, just like JerryWorld. Of the host cities, LA, Dallas, NY/NJ, and Mexico City are likely to be the locations of the semis and final. Those cities have the largest stadiums, large international airports, and are international travel destinations (maybe not Dallas).
@@norgepolo Mexico City is out. All games in knockout phase and beyond (including semis and final) will be in the US. This has been the bid plan from day one.
The first ever WC to be co-hosted by more than 2 countries and the first, although partially, taking place in the US since 1994. I like the idea of a sports tournament being held throughout North America, let alone when it's the biggest global sporting event! It would be amazing to follow the WC along from the group stages right up to the knock-out phase though I bet it'll be pricey, especially for foreigners like me, to book flights, find accomodations etc ... but it would be one heck of an experience for sure!
Geez Americans are spoiled with huge stadiums! I’ll be travelling from Australia for this for sure. Depends on where my Socceroos will play but I like the look of the Texas stadium 😯 huge

Sad that Las Vegas is not part of this. Both the venue and accommodations there are top notch for event like this.
Exactly
las Vegas or Chicago would be good instead Kansas and Houston
Las Vegas didn't even bid
@@SGT676 I heard that Las Vegas originally bid but then withdrew due to a FIFA's requirement that was a bit unreasonable in my opinion. Americans are pragmatic, sometimes too pragmatic to agree on building something of little or no use. FIFA made bigger leeway to Qatar.
@@lactran7475 Chicago did the same, despite being one of America’s biggest cities. They didn’t want to deal with FIFA’s requirements to submit a bid. Same for Montreal in Canada.
I live near Seattle. The infrastructure around Lumen field where, the Sounders and Seahawks play, is great. Light rail train, busses, plenty of hotels, parks, great atmosphere etc. And it's a few hours away from Vancouver BC
I'm super excited.
Tourists will be killed or shot by the homeless and drug addicts around that stadium lol
There a bunch of legal weed shops 2 mins away too lol… those stores are gonna make bank
You gonna go to matches in Vancouver as well as Seattle?
I plan on making it to Vancouver for the cup. I'm from Edmonton and the snub still stings but Vancouver has the better venue and infrastructure and ability to create a local rivalry with Seattle nearby... Get some better HSR's running and you'd have yourself a successful Greater Cascadia party town!
I'm worried about the mass shootings happening in the us. I don't think it'd be safe.
Mercedies Benz stadium 🏟 is my favorite stadium out of all of them .
looks ugly
arrowhead is the only one that looks like a stadium that wasn't built for concerts
Glad that the beautiful city of Vancouver can finally host the World Cup, one of the nicest host cities in my opinion.
This is going to be an awesome world cup. Great stadiums, great for local fans and for visiting fans. 48 participating countries is great for a one-off! (I hope they'll reduce back to 32 In later world cups though)
FIFA reducing the size of the field will never happen. More teams in the WC means more money they can squeeze out of more people. IAH, it wouldn't even surprise me if they expanded the field again before I shuffle off this mortal coil, because FIFA just loves money.
Reducing? More like expanding it to 64 teams in the coming decades it's fifa that we're talking about after all.
@@someguy5487 Yes, i know it's idle hope. Now that it has been decided let's enjoy a world cup of 48 teams. North America is the perfect place for that.
@@erikthehalfabee6234 48 teams sucks!! Plenty of weak teams with 32, let alone 48. ... Look how the Euros failed with the expansion to 24. ⚠️Big mistake for the US to share hosting with Canada & Mexico. The organizers thought they will lose bidding (thanks to anti-Americanism), so they lumped neighbouring countries in the bid. Guess what? Only Morrocco was competing with the US,and we would have won it anyway. Now, let Canada and Mexico host their own national teams' group stage matches, then all he rest should be in the US.
@@hus390 60 out of 80 games, including everything from the QF on will be in the US
Another great video!
This will shatter the attendance-record for world cups, not only because there will be more teams and thus more games, but also because all stadiums are on steriods(except the "tiny" 45k one)
I can't wait for this tournament and to see how some of the stadiums will be redeveloped.
Wow fast. You are the man
I wish Orlando had been picked for the States, especially since by 2026, it will be an even more massive place for Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, etc and the tourism and the WC fans would have loved it!
Orlando sucks f tier city
Also being played in Florida kinda surprised Orlando wasn’t picked
By that time there will be a high speed rail from Orlando to Miami.
I do remember Belgium vs the Netherlands played in Orlando at WC1994
@@benmangrum8626 yeah probably would have been better to host in Orlando too cause in my state of Texas Dallas and Houston aren’t the most attractive places. Especially Houston in my opinion but same goes for Dallas .
NRG Stadium was actually the first retarctable roof in the NFL back in 2002.
As Reliant Stadium, yup...
Don’t forget the goat, the astrodome
@@gerardo7088 Didn’t the Astrodome have a fixed roof?
@@hmdwgf Yes. It was a revolutionary idea for the day. Stadiums built in the 60s and 70s tended to be very ugly (but functional) concrete donut style stadiums, so the Astrodome and Pontiac Silverdome really stood out.
The city of Houston is working on converting the Astrodome into a civic center, now that it no longer hosts sports.
I hope they give Mexico at least one Brazil and one Argentina game for old times sake, preferably Brazil in Guadalajara, that's like their second home.
yeah,Miguel Felix Gallardo will be released from prison in 2026.I am pretty sure he*s gonna visit all games in Guadalajara

hello to the all our fellow Canadians and the US Americans that we'll be sharing the world cup with, I lived relatively near to the Akron stadium when i was a child so seeing it on the world cup is such a joy and I bet lots of people from the other cities feel similarly
Akron Stadia looks amazing.
Good social commentary at the start
Great
I live 10 minutes away from Levi’s and I died when you talked about the Bangladesh children 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I live just south of SF and can't stand Levi's Stadium.
@@fixpacifica It's the dumbest stadium. No where near SF. Public trans is terrible to and from (haven't been there since the last time the Chiefs played there before this season (Alex Smith was still QB.) It's surrounded by a bunch of 5 story office cloned buildings. So there wasn't really anywhere to go or anything to do pregame if you're not into tailgating (at that time.)
Dang! US stadiums are really cool!
Well, it's US! Of course they gonna look fancy!!

Amazing stadiums USA
I’m so excited the World Cup will actually be in my home town.
Thanks
One thing people will appreciate about the stadiums in Dallas, Houston and Atlanta is that they are all indoors and climate controlled. Considering the dreadful summer heat in Texas and the intense summer humidity in Atlanta, the fans and players will appreciate it- I guarantee the roofs on those stadiums will not open during this WC- they don’t open for the NFL season until late in the year, when it isn’t so hot. Kansas City, Miami, Guadalajara and the northeastern cities- Toronto and Boston less so might be a problem, and Monterrey- unless they play the games in the morning or at night will be absolutely dreadful.
Also- SoFi Stadium isn’t an indoor stadium like the properly indoor stadiums are- its roof is more like a canopy. You’re still outside in that stadium- and unlike the Rose Bowl, which sees intense heat in summer SoFi doesn’t see intense heat because of its proximity to the ocean. LA is in a hilly desert and has a dry Mediterranean climate. The weather difference between areas in LA within 5 miles from the Pacific and areas at least 25 miles from the Pacific is quite big. The weather in areas within about 5 miles from the Pacific doesn’t often go past 80 degrees, and the further away you go from the Pacific there the hotter it gets. Pasadena, where the Rose Bowl is often sees summer temps past 100 degrees and is only 25 miles from the Pacific.
Soccer/football is played outside. Not in an indoor arena. Its part of it.

It needs a partial roof or canopy built for the east side section.

The 3rd Canadian host was Montreal’s to give up & they did…
So silly how they didn’t want a once in a lifetime event coming to the city.
Especially as they have played host to the Olympics, F1, World Expo etc etc.
They had 2 options. Saputo Stadium could have been expanded to well over 40,000, if they removed the original stand and built a 2 tier setup, or Stade Olympique, which could easily have been 60,000+ or even the original 73,000, if they reverted to the original Olympic capacity. But one assumes they didn't want the headache of upgrading either.
@@LordDavid04 The reason was the same as when Vancouver didnt bid initially for world cup, since thry didnt like FIFA terms for becoming the host. Vancouver changed its mind after covid hit and wanted to boost tourismand FIFA also probably lowered expectations on some things
Excited to see some matches as MetLife Stadium, which is fantastic if you've never been. Levi's Stadium is godawful because most of the seats are completely baking in the sun all the time.
Have you been to to other stadiums during the heat ?? San Jose weather ain't bad in the summer 🌞 if you're not from there

Originally the FedEx Field in Washington DC was also part of the venue for FIFA 2026 but it was pulled out due to the stadium condition being crap with poor conditions, pipe leak, barricade failing, poor transportation to get there, grass field is so horrid that NFL players in there get injured because of it, and more
The commanders should move back to Washington, where the real fans are.
FedEx field is absolute crap. Still boggles my mind that Washington didn’t agree with dc govt. for RFK. A nice update was all the need.
Talk about poor transportation, how was Houston picked lmao, can't get anywhere there unless you have a car. I would have taken away Philly/Boston and Houston and give another stadium to Mexico and Canada, or another midwestern city

finals will probably be in Arlington, Tx and Atlanta, GA since they have some of the largest stadiums with the one in Texas being the largest. With retractable roofs they are the safest options too
Sofi in LA can expand up to 100,000, just like JerryWorld. Of the host cities, LA, Dallas, NY/NJ, and Mexico City are likely to be the locations of the semis and final. Those cities have the largest stadiums, large international airports, and are international travel destinations (maybe not Dallas).
@@norgepolo Mexico City is out. All games in knockout phase and beyond (including semis and final) will be in the US. This has been the bid plan from day one.

The first ever WC to be co-hosted by more than 2 countries and the first, although partially, taking place in the US since 1994. I like the idea of a sports tournament being held throughout North America, let alone when it's the biggest global sporting event! It would be amazing to follow the WC along from the group stages right up to the knock-out phase though I bet it'll be pricey, especially for foreigners like me, to book flights, find accomodations etc ... but it would be one heck of an experience for sure!
