Canada, the United States and Mexico are expected to submit a joint bid for the 2026 World Cup, according to CONCACAF president Victor Montagliani.

“Canada, the US and Mexico are aiming for a joint bid, the idea has been around for a while, discussions are continuing and it is a very exciting proposition if it comes to fruition,” Montagliani told the Guardian. “We have had nothing but positive remarks about it and it is a very strong sign of what football can do to bring countries together.”

The international soccer tournament will reach new heights in 2026 with an unprecedented 48 teams competing in 80 games. Montagliani feels the three-country bid will “fit” the larger format.

The bid has to be officially entered between June 2017 and December 2018. FIFA will then evaluate each bid from January 2019 to February 2020. The final decision will be made at the FIFA congress in May 2020.

The U.S. hosted the World Cup in 1994 while the event was held in Mexico in 1970 and 1986. Canada has never hosted the men’s World Cup but did host the women’s World Cup in 2015.
