The World Cup returns to the United States for the first time since 1994. The USMNT, Canadian and Mexican national teams were all invited to the tournament as host nations. The three co-host nations will be joined by 45 other qualifying countries making up a 48-team field for the first time in the competition’s history.

President Donald Trump again suggested World Cup matches at US venues could be changed if the administration is concerned about safety in that city.

The final World Cup participants won't be determined until March of 2026, following the draw for the World Cup groups. A playoff will take place in North America in March, including one team each from the following regions: AFC, CAF, CONMEBOL, OFC, alongside two from Concacaf to determine the final two places in the World Cup.

United States President Donald Trump may have no legal backing behind his threats of taking the FIFA World Cup away from various cities, but he has the blessing of his FIFA counterpart Gianni Infantino. The 2026 World Cup is less than year away and excitement for the tournament is building across the globe.

The first 15 minutes of the match went about as expected up against a team like Uruguay who are riding some incredible form. USMNT weren’t giving up too much, not getting caught on the counter but still keeping shape defensively and not allowing any clear looks for an early goal.
