MOSCOW - The United States, Mexico and Canada won the right to host the 2026 World Cup after easily beating Morocco in a vote by FIFA members on Wednesday. It will be the first World Cup to be expanded to 48 teams, posing an enormous logistical challenge for the hosts. The joint North American bid boasted modern, established stadiums and welldeveloped transport links underpinned by Mexican fervor for the game. The 1994 World Cup in the United States set an attendance record that still stands, with nearly 3.6 million spectators for only 52 matches. That suggests that North American bid leaders' promises to deliver a record $11 billion profit for the 2026 tournament are feasible.
