Clock ticking on CONCACAF World Cup bid as work starts on 2026 planning
TORONTO — The clock is already ticking on the 2026 World Cup bid.
Canadian soccer officials, along with their U.S. and Mexican partners, will find out in August whether they face competition to host the FIFA men’s showcase. Guidelines for the bid will be sent soon after that and the CONCACAF group will have to submit its proposal next March.
FIFA hopes to have its decision next June.
The deadline to submit bids is Aug. 11. The hope is CONCACAF, which covers North and Central America and the Caribbean, will be left alone to carry the 2026 torch.
