The
2026 FIFA World Cup
will be the 23rd
FIFA World Cup
, the
quadrennial
international men's
soccer
championship contested by the
national teams
of the member associations of
FIFA
. The tournament will take place from June 11 to July 19, 2026.
[
1
]
It will be jointly hosted by sixteen citiesâeleven in the
United States
, three in
Mexico
, and two in
Canada
. The tournament will be the first FIFA World Cup to be hosted by three nations, and the first to include 48 teams, an expansion from 32.
The
United 2026 bid
beat a
rival bid by Morocco
during a final vote at the
68th FIFA Congress
in
Moscow
. It will be the first men's World Cup since
2002
to be co-hosted by multiple nations. With its past hosting of the
1970
and
1986
tournaments, Mexico will become the first country to host or co-host the men's World Cup three times. The United States previously hosted the men's World Cup in
1994
. By contrast, it will be Canada's first time hosting or co-hosting the men's tournament. The event will return to its traditional
Northern Hemisphere
summer schedule after the
2022 World Cup
in
Qatar
was held in November and December.
As the host nations,
Canada
,
Mexico
, and the
United States
all automatically qualified.
Cape Verde
,
Curaçao
,
Jordan
, and
Uzbekistan
will all make their World Cup debuts.
Argentina
is the
defending champion
, having won its third World Cup title in 2022.
Format and expansion
The idea of expanding the tournament had been suggested as early as 2013 by then
UEFA
president
Michel Platini
,
[
2
]
[
3
]
and also in 2016 by FIFA president
Gianni Infantino
.
[
4
]
Opponents of the proposal argued that the number of games played was already at an unacceptable level,
[
5
]
that the expansion would dilute the quality of the games,
[
6
]
[
7
]
and that the decision was driven by political rather than sporting concerns, accusing Infantino of using the promise of bringing more countries to the World Cup to
win his election
.
[
8
]
Starting with this edition, the FIFA World Cup expanded to 48 teams, an increase of 16 teams compared to the previous seven tournaments.
[
9
]
The teams will be split into twelve groups of four teams, with the top two teams in each group and the eight best third-placed teams progressing to a new round of 32, as approved by the
FIFA Council
on March 14, 2023.
[
10
]
This is set to be the first expansion and format change since
1998
.
The total number of games played will increase from 64 to 104, and the number of games played by teams reaching the final four will increase from seven to eight. The tournament will last 39 days, an increase from 32 days of the
2014
and
2018
tournaments.
[
11
]
[
12
]
Each team will still play three group matches.
[
13
]
[
14
]
The final matchday at club level for players named in the final squads is May 24, 2026; clubs have to release their players by May 25, with exceptions granted to players participating in continental club competition finals up until May 30. The 56 days of the combined rest, release, and tournament periods remain identical to the
2010
, 2014 and 2018 tournaments.
[
10
]
Previous expansion formats
The expansion to 48 teams had already been approved on January 10, 2017, when it was decided that the tournament would include 16 groups of 3 teams, and 80 matches in total, with the top two teams of each group progressing to a round of 32.
[
9
]
[
15
]
Under this later-superseded format, the maximum number of games per team would have remained at seven, but each team would have played one fewer group match than before. The tournament would still have been completed within 32 days.
[
16
]
This format was chosen over three other proposals, ranging from 40 to 48 teams, from 76 to 88 matches, and from one to four minimum matches per team.
[
17
]
[
18
]
[
19
]
Critics of this format argued that the use of three-team groups with two teams progressing significantly increased the risk of collusion between teams.
[
20
]
This prompted
FIFA
to suggest that
penalty shootouts
may be used to prevent draws in the group stage,
[
21
]
although even then some risk of collusion would remain, and a possibility would emerge of teams deliberately losing shootouts to eliminate a rival.
[
20
]
To address these concerns, FIFA continued considering alternative formats
[
22
]
â a process that ended with the 2023 announcement that the format would be 12 groups of 4 teams.
Host selection
The
FIFA Council
went back and forth between 2013 and 2017 on limitations within hosting rotation based on the continental confederations. Originally, it was set that bids to be host would not be allowed from countries belonging to confederations that hosted the two preceding tournaments. It was temporarily changed to only prohibit countries belonging to the confederation that hosted the previous World Cup from bidding to host the following tournament,
[
23
]
before the rule was changed back to its prior state of two World Cups.
The FIFA Council made an exception to potentially grant eligibility to member associations of the confederation of the second-to-last host of the FIFA World Cup in the event that none of the received bids fulfill the strict technical and financial requirements.
[
24
]
[
25
]
In March 2017, FIFA president
Gianni Infantino
confirmed that "Europe (
UEFA
) and Asia (
AFC
) are excluded from the bidding following the selection of
Russia
and
Qatar
in 2018 and 2022 respectively."
[
26
]
Therefore, the 2026 World Cup could be hosted by one of the remaining four confederations:
CONCACAF
(North America; last hosted in
1994
),
CAF
(Africa; last hosted in
2010
),
CONMEBOL
(South America; last hosted in
2014
), or
OFC
(Oceania, never hosted before), or potentially by UEFA in case no bid from those four met the requirements.
Co-hosting the FIFA World Cupâwhich had been banned by FIFA after the
2002 World Cup
âwas approved for the 2026 World Cup, though not limited to a specific number but instead evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Also for 2026, the FIFA general secretariat, after consultation with the Competitions Committee, had the power to exclude bidders who did not meet the minimum technical requirements to host the competition.
[
24
]
Canada, Mexico, and the United States had each publicly considered bidding for the tournament separately, but the United joint bid was announced on April 10, 2017.
[
27
]
[
28
]
In March 2022,
Liga MX
president
Mikel Arriola
claimed Mexico's involvement as cohost could have been at risk if the league and the federation had not responded quickly to the
QuerĂŠtaroâAtlas riot
between rival fans that left 26 spectators injured and resulted in 14 arrests. Arriola said FIFA was "shocked" by the incident but Infantino was satisfied with the sanctions handed down against QuerĂŠtaro.

During the bidding process, 41 cities with 42 existing, fully functional venues with regular tenants (except Montreal) and two venues under construction (Las Vegas and Los Angeles) submitted to be part of the bid (three venues in three cities in Mexico; six venues in six cities in Canada; 35 venues in 32 cities in the United States).
[
37
]
A first-round elimination cut nine venues and nine cities. A second-round elimination cut an additional nine venues in six cities, while three venues in three cities (
Chicago
,
Minneapolis
, and
Vancouver
) dropped out due to FIFA's unwillingness to discuss financial details.
[
38
]
After
Montreal
dropped out in July 2021 due to lack of provincial funding and support to renovate
Olympic Stadium
,
[
39
]
Vancouver rejoined the bid as a candidate city in April 2022,
[
40
]
bringing the total number to 24 venues, each in its own city or metropolitan area.
On June 16, 2022, the sixteen host cities (two in Canada, three in Mexico, eleven in the United States) were announced by
FIFA
: Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Guadalajara, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Miami, Monterrey, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Toronto, and Vancouver.
[
41
]
Eight of the sixteen chosen stadiums have permanent
artificial turf
surfaces that are planned to be replaced with grass under the direction of FIFA and a
University of Tennessee
â
Michigan State University
research team. Four venues (Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, and Vancouver) are indoor stadiums that use
retractable roof
systems, all equipped with climate control while a fifth, Los Angeles, is open-air but has a translucent roof and no climate control.
[
42
]
The host of the
final match
â
MetLife Stadium
in
East Rutherford, New Jersey
âwas announced by FIFA on February 4, 2024.
[
43
]
Although there are
soccer-specific stadiums
in Canada and the United States, the largest dedicated soccer-specific stadium in the United States,
Geodis Park
in
Nashville, Tennessee
, seats 30,000, which falls short of FIFA's minimum of 40,000 (Toronto's
BMO Field
is being expanded from 30,000 to 45,500 for this tournament).
[
44
]
Stadiums including
Mercedes-Benz Stadium
in
Atlanta
,
Gillette Stadium
in
Foxborough, Massachusetts
, and
Lumen Field
in
Seattle
are used by
National Football League
(NFL) and
Major League Soccer
(MLS) teams.
[
45
]
Although primarily used for
gridiron football
, with the American stadiums hosting NFL teams and Canada's hosting the
Canadian Football League
(CFL), all of the Canadian and American stadiums have been used on numerous occasions for soccer and are also designed to host that sport.
[
46
]
Mexico City
is the only capital of the three host nations chosen as a venue site, with
Ottawa
and
Washington, D.C.
, joining
Bonn
(
West Germany, 1974
) and
Tokyo
(
Japan, 2002
) as the only capital cities not selected to host World Cup matches. Washington was a host city candidate, but due to the poor state of
FedExField
, it combined its bid with nearby
Baltimore
's, which was unsuccessful. Other cities eliminated from the final hosting list were
Cincinnati
,
Denver
, Nashville,
Orlando
, and
Edmonton
. Ottawa's candidate venue,
TD Place Stadium
, was eliminated early on due to insufficient capacity.
[
47
]
None of the stadiums used in the
1994 FIFA World Cup
will be used in this tournament, and
Estadio Azteca
is the only stadium in this tournament that was used in the
1970
and
1986
FIFA World Cups.
[
48
]
Due to FIFA's rules on stadium
sponsorships
, the venues will use alternative names for the duration of the tournament, shown below in parentheses.

The United Bid personnel anticipated that all three host countries would be awarded automatic berths.
[
51
]
On August 31, 2022, FIFA president Gianni Infantino confirmed that six CONCACAF teams will qualify for the World Cup, with Canada, Mexico, and the United States automatically qualifying as hosts.
[
52
]
[
53
]
This was confirmed by the
FIFA Council
on February 14, 2023.
[
54
]
[
55
]
Immediately prior to the 67th
FIFA Congress
, the FIFA Council approved the slot allocation in a meeting in
Manama
, Bahrain.
[
56
]
[
57
]
This includes an intercontinental playoff tournament involving six teams to decide the last two FIFA World Cup spots.
[
58
]
The six teams in the playoffs will comprise one team from each confederation excluding
UEFA
, and one additional team from the confederation of the host countries (
CONCACAF
). Two of the teams will be seeded based on the
World Rankings
, and they will play the winners of two knockout games between the four unseeded teams for the two
FIFA World Cup
berths. The four-game tournament is to be played in one or more of the host countries, and will also be used as a test event for the FIFA World Cup.
[
56
]
The ratification of slot allocation also gives the
OFC
a guaranteed berth in the final tournament for the first time: the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be the first tournament in which all six confederations have at least one guaranteed berth and also the first time since the
2010 edition
in which all confederations have a team qualified for the World Cup finals.
[
56
]
Of the 48 qualified teams, 26 also appeared in the
2022 edition
. Highlights include:

Absentees
Italy
missed out after being defeated in the European playoff final by
Bosnia and Herzegovina
, becoming the first former champions to miss out on three consecutive World Cups.
[
70
]
Like in 2018 and 2022, Italy was the only former champion that did not qualify.
Cameroon
,
Costa Rica
,
Denmark
,
Poland
,
Serbia
, and
Wales
, all of whom qualified for the
2022 World Cup
, did not qualify for the 2026 tournament.
The teams that qualified, sorted by region:
Draw
The draw took place on December 5, 2025, at the
Kennedy Center
in
Washington, D.C.
[
71
]
The 48 teams were divided into four pots of 12. Pot 1 consisted of the three hosts and the top nine teams from the November 2025
FIFA Men's World Ranking
. Pots 2, 3, and 4 consisted of the remaining teams according to the ranking. The four winners of the
UEFA playoffs
and the two winners of the
inter-confederation playoffs
were not known at the time of the draw and thus were automatically allocated to Pot 4. The 12 groups were randomly formed by selecting one team from each of the four pots. FIFA's "general principle, whenever possible", was that no group had more than one team from the same confederation drawn into it.
[
72
]
[
73
]
This principle was applicable to all confederations except UEFA; each group was required to have either one or two UEFA teams drawn into it.
The three host nations were pre-allocated to three groups for scheduling purposes. Mexico was placed in Group A and will play the opening match of the tournament at Estadio Azteca on June 11. Canada and the United States were placed in Groups B and D, respectively. They will play the third and fourth matches of the tournament, respectively, both on June 12.
[
1
]
[
74
]
The confederation restriction applied to all three potential winners of the inter-confederation playoffs. FIFA also announced that, "in the interest of ensuring competitive balance", two separate pathways to the semifinals (sides of the knockout bracket) were established. Based on this, the teams ranked first (Spain) and second (Argentina) in the ranking were randomly drawn into groups in opposite pathways, as were the teams ranked third (France) and fourth (England). Therefore, should these pairs of teams win their groups, they will be unable to meet until the final, while all four will be unable to meet until the semifinals.
[
75
]
The draw started with Pot 1 and ended with Pot 4, with each team selected then allocated into the first available group alphabetically. For the purpose of the match schedule, the Pot 1 teams were automatically drawn into position 1 of each group. For the remaining pots, FIFA established a predetermined pattern to define the position of teams based on their pot and the group they were drawn into.

Match schedule
The match schedule, without group assignments, was announced on February 4, 2024.
[
1
]
[
116
]
[
117
]
On June 13, 2024, FIFA released an updated schedule, with specific pairings assigned to venues for the knockout stage.
[
118
]
In addition, group stage matches were assigned to specific groups (though pairings for non-host groups were not assigned to specific games until after the final draw). The full schedule was unveiled in a live broadcast on December 6, 2025, the day after the draw.
[
119
]
The opening match was announced to include Mexico, taking place on June 11, 2026, at the
Estadio Azteca
in
Mexico City
. This game will include South Africa. The opening match involving Canada will take place on June 12 at
BMO Field
in
Toronto
, while the opening game for the United States will take place on the same day at
SoFi Stadium
in
Inglewood
. Each host nation is scheduled to play its three matches in the group stage within its own country.
AT&T Stadium
in
Arlington, Texas
, will host the most matches of any venue at the tournament with nine.
MetLife Stadium
in
East Rutherford, New Jersey
, will host the
final
on July 19. The United States will host 78 matches, including from the quarterfinal stage onward, while Canada and Mexico will each host 13. Each tournament venue, except for the
Estadio Akron
, will host at least one knockout stage fixture.
[
120
]
The match schedule will overlap with the
2026 CFL season
, resulting in scheduling conflicts and loss of home games for the
Toronto Argonauts
and
BC Lions
.
[
121
]
[
122
]
The match schedule will also affect the schedules of the
Kansas City Royals
,
Philadelphia Phillies
,
Seattle Mariners
, and
Texas Rangers
of
Major League Baseball
, whose home stadiums are located near World Cup venues.
[
123
]
Host cities were geographically grouped into three regions:
[
1
]
Western Region (Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles)
Central Region (Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey, Houston, Dallas, Kansas City)
Eastern Region (Atlanta, Miami, Toronto, Boston, Philadelphia, New York/New Jersey)

Group stage
Tie-breaking criteria for group stage ranking
The ranking of teams in each group is determined by the points obtained in all group matches. If two or more teams are equal on points, the following criteria are used to determine the ranking:
[
124
]
Most points obtained in the group matches played between the teams concerned;
Superior goal difference in the group matches played between the teams concerned;
Most goals scored in the group matches played between the teams concerned;
If, after having applied criteria a to c, teams still had an equal ranking, criteria a to c are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the teams who are still level to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria d to h apply.
Superior goal difference in all group matches;
Most goals scored in all group matches;
Highest team conduct ("fair play") score in all group matches (only one deduction can be applied to a player or team coach/official in a single match):
Yellow card: â1 point;
Indirect red card (second yellow card): â3 points;
Direct red card: â4 points;
Yellow card and direct red card: â5 points;
Better position in the most recent
FIFA Men's World Ranking
;
Better position in progressively older FIFA Men's World Rankings until teams can be separated.
Prior to the final draw, stadiums were assigned to specific groups.
[

]
Following the final draw, pairings were allocated to specific matches, and the kickoff times were confirmed.

Statistics
Discipline
A player or team official is automatically suspended for the next match for the following offenses:
[
124
]
Receiving a red card (red card suspensions may be extended for serious offenses)
Receiving two yellow cards in two matches;
[
X
]
yellow cards expire after the completion of the quarterfinals (yellow card suspensions are not carried forward to any other future international matches)
Only pending red card suspensions from qualification will be carried forward to the final tournament.
[
124
]
During qualification,
Cristiano Ronaldo
was sent off for violent conduct in Portugal's penultimate match, with such an offense typically resulting in a ban of at least two matches. Ronaldo was handed a three-match ban, though the final two matches of the ban were suspended for a one-year probationary period, making him eligible to appear in Portugal's opening World Cup match.
[

]
The following suspensions will be served during the tournament:

The official emblem and brand identity was unveiled on May 17, 2023, at the
Griffith Observatory
in
Los Angeles
,
California
; its basic form consists of a stacked "26" with an image of the
FIFA World Cup Trophy
in front of it (marking the first time that the trophy has been depicted in a World Cup emblem as a photo, as opposed to a stylized representation), but it is designed to be adaptable to different backdrops.
[
129
]
[
130
]
The next day, FIFA unveiled variants of the emblem for each of the host cities, which feature color variants and designs that reflect local landscapes or culture (with the Los Angeles emblem featuring a stylized sun and wave, the Monterrey emblem featuring imagery of the
Cerro de la Silla
mountain, and Toronto featuring the city skyline and the
CN Tower
).
[
131
]
[
132
]
Reaction to the logo from the initial unveiling was largely negative, with many feeling that the design was either unfinished or uncreative compared to the emblems of past FIFA World Cup tournaments. By contrast,
United States national team
player
JesĂşs Ferreira
described the emblem as "beautiful".

Posters
In April 2025, FIFA unveiled a set of 16 posters representing each of the 2026 World Cup host cities. Each poster has been a vibrant celebration of local culture, landmarks, and soccer spirit, capturing the unique identity of every host city in this tournament.

Broadcasting rights
On February 12, 2015, FIFA renewed the United States and Canadian broadcasting rights contracts for
Fox
(U.S. English),
NBCUniversal
(U.S. Spanish), and
Bell Media
(Canada) to cover the 2026 World Cup, without accepting any other bids. A report in
The New York Times
asserted that this extension was intended as compensation for the rescheduling of the
2022 World Cup
to NovemberâDecember rather than its traditional JuneâJuly scheduling, as it created considerable conflicts with
major professional sports leagues
that are normally in their offseasons during the World Cup.

On January 8, 2026, FIFA signed a deal to make
TikTok
a "preferred platform" for World Cup video content. As part of the agreement, broadcasters may stream parts of games at a dedicated hub on the TikTok app.
[
144
]
FIFA then made a similar "preferred platform" deal with
YouTube
on March 17, allowing broadcasters to stream select games in full on their respective YouTube channels, as well as stream the first 10 minutes of every game on the platform as "an appetizer encouraging young fans then to watch on traditional channels".
[
145
]
It was later confirmed that YouTube had extended this deal with FIFA and
CazĂŠTV
to show all tournament games for free in Brazil.

Awards
FIFA Peace Prize
Donald Trump receives a certificate as the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize winner in December 2025 from Gianni Infantino for an "unwavering commitment to advancing peace and unity".
The FIFA Peace Prize is an international award presented by
FIFA
. Established in 2025, its stated aim is to honor individuals whose actions FIFA characterizes as exceptional contributions to peace and unity, reflecting its campaign slogan "Football Unites the World".
[
221
]
[
222
]
According to FIFA, the purpose of the prize is to "reward individuals who have taken exceptional and extraordinary actions for peace and by doing so have united people across the world".
[
221
]
The FIFA Peace Prize was awarded on December 5, 2025, to United States president
Donald Trump
during the draw for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, held at the
Kennedy Center
in
Washington, D.C.
.
[
223
]
[
224
]
[
225
]
FIFA stated that the award recognized his "involvement in ceasefire efforts and diplomatic engagements in several conflicts".
[
221
]
[
226
]
[
227
]
The creation of the prize and the choice of Trump as its first recipient generated widespread scrutiny and controversy. Human rights groups, analysts and football stakeholders questioned the transparency of the selection process, the suitability of the inaugural laureate, and the implications both for FIFA's claims of political neutrality and its human rights commitments.
[
228
]
[
229
]
[
230
]
[
231
]
Selection process
FIFA stated that the Peace Prize would be awarded on the recommendation of an independent committee. However, as of the first award, the organization had not disclosed detailed nomination procedures or evaluation criteria.
[
224
]
[
222
]
FIFA had also not made clear the manner by which the recipient was selected or the exact form the prize would take.
[
232
]
According to
The New York Times
, the prize was not discussed at the
FIFA Council
or with FIFA vice presidents, none of whom had input into the selection criteria, prior to its creation in October 2025.
[
233
]
The process behind the award was not made public: there were no nominations announced and no formal selection criteria given.
[
233
]
[
234
]
Human rights groups, including
Human Rights Watch
, criticized the lack of transparency, reporting that queries about nominees, judges, and criteria remained unanswered.
[
235
]
[
229
]
[
236
]
Investigations by
The Guardian
and other outlets identified
Zaw Zaw
, a Myanmar businessman and long-serving president of the
Myanmar Football Federation
, as chair of the selection committee.
[
237
]
[
238
]
Critics highlighted his ties to Myanmar's former military junta and to human rights abuses against the
Rohingya people
, raising concerns about the credibility of a peace award under his oversight.

Prize money
In December 2025, FIFA announced the prizes for all participating nations. This edition's total prize pool will be $655Â million, $215Â million greater than the prize pool of the
previous tournament
. Each qualified team will also receive an additional $1.5Â million before the competition to cover preparation costs, thus guaranteed a minimum $10.5Â million total in prize money.

Concerns
Climate concerns
In January 2025,
Queen's University Belfast
warned about potential heat risks for most of the host cities and urged FIFA to schedule match kickoffs later into the afternoon or evening, stating that the
wet-bulb globe temperature
in certain host cities was higher than that of Qatar in the winter.
[
241
]
During the
2025 FIFA Club World Cup
, which was also hosted in the United States, several matches reported high temperatures ranging from 90 to 102 °F (32 to 39 °C) and weather delays.
[
242
]
[
243
]
In December 2025, FIFA announced that all matches at the 2026 World Cup would include a mandatory three-minute hydration break in each half to allow players to rest in hot conditions.
[
244
]
The three-minute period would also be available for commercials at the discretion of tournament broadcasters.
[
245
]
Concerns have also been raised by climate activists about the environmental impact of both the expansion to 48 teams as well as traveling between host cities, most of which will require extensive air travel and increase carbon emissions, a counter to one of FIFA's goals on sustainability.
[
246
]
A report by
Scientists for Global Responsibility
in July 2025 calculated that the amount of greenhouse gas emissions for the tournament would make it one of the most polluting events in the world as it would be almost double the average for the last four tournaments (2022 reportedly had 5.25Â million metric tons [5.79Â million short tons]), roughly the same amount as 6.5 million cars driven for a year.
[
247
]
Immigration policy concerns under the Trump administration
During the bidding process, President
Donald Trump
's
executive orders regarding immigration from certain Muslim-majority countries in 2017
implemented during his
first term
were touted as a potential risk. Infantino stated, "any team, including the supporters and officials of that team, who qualify for a World Cup need to have access to the country, otherwise there is no World Cup."
[
26
]
In response, the Trump administration sent letters to FIFA that read, in part, that Trump was "confident" that "all eligible athletes, officials and fans from all countries around the world would be able to enter the United States without discrimination."
[
248
]
Concerns around the staging of the tournament were also raised during the first meeting of the
FIFA World Cup Task Force
due to the
immigration policy of the second Donald Trump administration
. In response, Vice President
JD Vance
said, "Of course, everybody is welcome to come and see this incredible event, but when the time is up, they'll have to go home. Otherwise, they'll have to talk to
Secretary Noem
."
[
249
]
On June 11, 2025, the Sports & Rights Alliance,
Human Rights Watch
, and
Amnesty International
called on FIFA to ensure that
human rights in the United States
were upheld during the tournament, especially in light of the use of force during the
anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles
where journalists and protesters were attacked by local police.
[
250
]
[
251
]
[
252
]
Following the killings of civilians
RenĂŠe Good
and
Alex Pretti
by federal agents during
immigration enforcement operations
in the
MinneapolisâSaint Paul
area in January 2026, fan group
Football Supporters Europe
stated that it was "extremely concerned by the ongoing militarisation of police forces in the US."
[
253
]
2025 travel ban and exemptions
In June 2025, the
second Trump administration
reinstated a
travel ban
affecting citizens from multiple countries, citing national security concerns.
[
254
]
The ban, which was later expanded in December, prohibits the issuance of new immigrant and
non-immigrant visas
for citizens of 39 affected countries, including those whose teams have qualified for the World Cupâ
Haiti
,
Iran
,
Ivory Coast
, and
Senegal
. The proclamation includes an exemption for any athlete or member of an athletic team, including coaches, persons performing a necessary support role, and immediate relatives, traveling for the World Cup,
Olympics
, or other major sporting events as determined by the
Secretary of State
.
[
255
]
[
256
]
This exemption ensured that national teams' players, coaches, and staff of those designated countries would be permitted to enter the United States for the competition, but the
U.S. State Department
confirmed that ordinary citizens of the four countries were not covered by this exemption, making them ineligible for visa issuance to attend the matches. While fans were permitted to submit visa applications with the promise of priority if they provided proof of tickets, the department noted that issuance would be unlikely, barring rare "national interest" waivers. However, this restriction can be circumvented if a fan is a valid visa holder, a permanent resident, or a
dual national
who applies using a passport not subject to the ban. In such cases, applicants may still be eligible to enter or apply for entry, provided they satisfy all other immigration and security requirements.

Iran's participation
On November 27, 2025, the
Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran
(FFIRI) said it would boycott the December 5 World Cup draw after its president,
Mehdi Taj
, was denied a visa to enter the United States. Four other delegation members, including head coach
Amir Ghalenoei
, were approved. An FFIRI spokesperson told state media the United States' decision was "unrelated to sport" and said the federation quickly raised the issue with FIFA President
Gianni Infantino
.
[
260
]
However, on December 3, the FFIRI reversed its decision and announced that it would send representatives to the draw, with head coach Ghalenoei serving as the technical representative of the national football team.
[
261
]
Protests and massacres in Iran
In January 2026, multiple Iranian soccer players and athletes were killed during the
2026 Iran massacres
amid
protests
, including former
Tractor Sazi F.C.
midfielder
Mojtaba Tarshiz
, prompting former
Iran national team
captain
Masoud Shojaei
to criticize FIFA for its silence over the killing of Iranian athletes during protests, while then-captain
Mehdi Taremi
expressed solidarity with the Iranian people.
[
262
]
[
263
]
[
264
]
[
265
]
Ali Karimi
, a former player for the Iran national team, along with a coalition of prominent Iranians, wrote an open letter to FIFA and all its member associations, calling on Infantino to speak up on the protest deaths.
[
266
]
Following the massacres, activists and former Iranian wrestling coach
Sardar Pashaei
called on FIFA and the
International Olympic Committee
to ban the Iranian teams from the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the
2026 Winter Olympics
.
[
267
]
Iran war
Further complications regarding Iran's participation occurred as a result of the
2026 IranâUnited States crisis
in February 2026, which resulted in the
United States and Israel launching missiles at Iran
. In retaliation, Iran launched missiles at Israel and
Persian Gulf Arab states
, as well as additional spillover missile strikes in Jordan. FIFA stated that it was monitoring the situation and was focused on getting all countries to participate, despite reports saying Iran may not participate.
[
268
]
[
269
]
[
270
]
According to
The Guardian
, if Iran were to withdraw, intercontinental playoff participant
Iraq
or the
United Arab Emirates
, the last
Asian Football Confederation
team to be
eliminated from the qualifiers
, could be likely beneficiaries to replace it in
Group G
.
[
271
]
[
272
]
FIFA has warned that Iran could face fines and a ban from future competitions should it withdraw from the tournament.
[
273
]
However, on March 10, Iran hinted that it may do so due to the risk of defections from players, similar to the
women's team
during the
2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup
in Australia.
[
274
]
Following a meeting with U.S. President Trump on March 10, Infantino said that Trump had reiterated that the Iranian team "is, of course, welcome to compete in the tournament in the United States".
[
275
]
In a post on
Truth Social
, Trump later added that, while the team is welcome, it would "[not be] appropriate that they be there, for their own life and safety".
[
276
]
In response, Iran asked for FIFA to remove the United States as tournament hosts, referring to Trump's statement that the Iranian team's safety could not be guaranteed.
[
277
]
[
278
]
On March 11, Iran's
Minister of Sport and Youth
,
Ahmad Donyamali
, reportedly ruled out participation in the World Cup in an interview with
Deutsche Presse-Agentur
, citing the
assassination of Ali Khamenei
, and later told
Iranian state television
that "under âno circumstances âcan we â participate in the World Cup", though the team's withdrawal has not been confirmed by FIFA.
[
279
]
[
280
]
On March 17, it was reported that FFIRI was negotiating with FIFA to move Iran's scheduled matches from the United States to Mexico, again citing Trump's statement that the Iranian team's safety could not be guaranteed.
[
281
]
However, FIFA denied Iran's request to move its matches and said that the schedule will go ahead as planned.
[
282
]
That same day, the
Asian Football Confederation
stated that it had not received any formal notification from Iran regarding an intention to withdraw from the tournament. Speaking to reporters in
Kuala Lumpur
,
Malaysia
, General Secretary
Windsor John
said that the final decision rests with FFIRI, adding that "the federation has informed us that they are going to the World Cup." He also expressed hope that Iran would resolve its internal issues and participate, noting that the team was among the first Asian teams to secure qualification, having done so in March 2025.
[
281
]
On March 27, ahead of a scheduled
AFC Champions League Elite
match, state media reported that Iran's Ministry of Sport and Youth had banned its sports teams from traveling to countries it considers "hostile", but it did not explicitly mention the World Cup.
[
283
]
The Group G host cities, which include
Los Angeles
and
Seattle
, as well as Iran's base camp city
Tucson, Arizona
, reportedly fear increased security risks.
[
278
]
Impact on Iraq
The war also significantly impacted Iraq's logistical preparations for the interconfederation playoffs, needing to win just one match to qualify for the World Cup. Following the closure of Iraqi airspace and the suspension of international flights, the Mexican
Secretariat of Foreign Affairs
intervened to grant entry visas for the national team through diplomatic channels in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, since Mexico does not have an embassy in Iraq.
[
284
]
However, despite the issuance of visas, over 60% of the domestic-based squad remained stranded in Baghdad, and a scheduled training camp in Houston before the playoffs was canceled.
[
285
]
[
286
]
Head coach
Graham Arnold
was forced to manage team operations remotely from the United Arab Emirates, as the delegation was unable to secure safe passage out of the conflict zone during the initial weeks of the war.
[
287
]
The
Iraq Football Association
(IFA) formally petitioned FIFA to postpone the playoff match, citing the impossibility of safe transit for the players and staff.
[
285
]
FIFA denied the request, citing the rigidity of the
FIFA International Match Calendar
, and instead proposed an alternative overland route through Turkey to Istanbul.
[
286
]
This proposal was rejected by IFA and Arnold due to security concerns regarding
repeated Iranian strikes in the Kurdistan region
.
[
287
]
Amidst these travel complications, the Mexican government maintained its commitment to the team's participation, working directly with the Iraqi Embassy in Mexico to finalize all documentation. On March 16, it was confirmed that FIFA would provide a chartered private jet to transport the Iraqi team to Mexico.
[
288
]
The original plan was for the team to fly on March 20 from the
Arar Domestic Airport
in Saudi Arabia, near the
Iraqi border
, and arrive in Monterrey the next day, 10 days before the match.
[
289
]
However, further airspace closures in the area forced the group of players and staff based in Iraq to travel overland to Jordan where they departed on a charter flight from
Queen Alia International Airport
in
Amman
on March 21. After a technical layover in
Lisbon
, they arrived in Monterrey minutes after midnight.
[
290
]
[
291
]
Pride Match (Egypt vs. Iran)
A "
Pride
Match" was planned in advance to take place in Seattle, organized by the local committee to tie into the
local celebration
and without endorsement by FIFA. After the draw and release of the schedule, it was determined that this match would feature Egypt and Iran, two countries where homosexuality is
punishable by law
.
[
292
]
Seattle's Pride Match Advisory Committee spokesperson said "The Pride Match has been scheduled to celebrate and elevate Pride events in Seattle and across the country and it was planned well in advance".
[
293
]
Iranian Football Federation
President
Mehdi Taj
said both countries had "objections" and that the branding was an "irrational move that supports a certain group." Iran was planning to appeal the decision.
[
294
]
The
Egyptian Football Association
also sent a formal letter to FIFA Secretary General
Mattias GrafstrĂśm
rejecting "in absolute terms" LGBTQ connections to the game.
[
295
]
Human rights and security concerns in Mexico
Labor rights
In March 2025, the trade union
Building and Wood Workers' International
(BWI) accused FIFA of blocking a planned labor inspection at Mexico City's
Estadio Azteca
, which is undergoing renovations in preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. According to BWI, FIFA's intervention prevented inspectors from evaluating working conditions at the site, raising concerns about potential labor rights violations similar to
alleged instances of slave labor at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar
.
[
296
]
Unrest in Jalisco
Following the
capture and death
of
Jalisco New Generation Cartel
(CJNG) leader
Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera Cervantes
in
Tapalpa
on February 22, 2026,
retaliatory violence
was launched by CJNG members across the state of
Jalisco
and various other Mexican states which involved shootouts, explosions, and blocking roads using burnt vehicles as well as setting fire to various businesses, raising concerns about security during games played in
Guadalajara
, Jalisco's largest city. Despite this, FIFA officials have no intentions to move any games and the Mexican government has reassured visitors that security would be guaranteed for visitors.
[
297
]
[
298
]
In March 2026, Mexico announced that 100,000 troops would be deployed for security during the tournament.
[
299
]
Impact of final game halftime show
On September 28, 2024, FIFA announced that
Global Citizen
, an international advocacy organization, would co-produce a
halftime show
for the
final game
at
MetLife Stadium
, the first halftime show in the history of the World Cup.
[
300
]
The show is intended to copy the format of the
Super Bowl halftime show
, featuring a well-known musical performer to increase the tournament's commercial appeal in the market.
The show has generated debate in the global soccer community. Supporters argue that the event modernizes the World Cup and provides a platform for global cultural exchange and revenue growth. However, critics, players, media, unions, and traditionalist fan groups have criticized what they view as the "
Americanization
" of soccer. Primary objections focus on the potential extension of the traditional 15-minute halftime interval, which generated an argument that it will disrupt player recovery, interfere with technical coaching adjustments, and break the natural flow of the game.
[
301
]
[
302
]
Decentralized host committees in the United States
Unlike previous World Cups where there was a centralized organizing committee, each of the 11 U.S. host cities have set up their own individual host committees, with independent deals with FIFA. As a result, most of the financial and legal responsibilities have shifted from a national level to a local one, including the majority of those for infrastructure improvements, public safety and security, and transportation.
[
303
]
[
304
]
In February 2026, the
Select Board of Foxborough
refused to grant the entertainment license to hold games at
Gillette Stadium
, stating that they still needed $7.8 million upfront in security funding, which is too heavy of a burden for a community with a population of about 18,000 to pay now and wait to be reimbursed later.
[
303
]
[
305
]
While the federal government had earmarked a total of $625 million for security in the 11 U.S. host cities, it remained unclear how much Foxborough's share would be and when it would receive it.
[
306
]
In addition, while the local Boston host committee is responsible for most of the public safety costs, they were still waiting on federal grant funding.
[
304
]
The town board had set a deadline of March 17 for the funding issue to be resolved, which was accomplished when
Robert Kraft
agreed five days before the deadline that
his company
would pay the bill.
[
305
]
[
307
]
Various cities have also had issues regarding the planning of the
FIFA Fan Festival
, which has resulted in plans for large central fan festivals, typically seen at the tournament, either being cancelled and replaced with smaller community focused festivals or scaled down due to high costs in
New York/New Jersey
,
Miami
, and
Seattle
.

Indonesia
) in
1938
.

As yellow cards are not carried forward to

, players may be shown two yellow cards in the same match without being sent off. However, this would result in a suspension for accumulating two yellow cards during the tournament.

The tournament will be the first FIFA World Cup to be hosted by three nations, and the first to include 48 teams, an expansion from 32.
The [United 2026 bid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_2026_FIFA_World_Cup_bid "United 2026 FIFA World Cup bid") beat a [rival bid by Morocco](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morocco_2026_FIFA_World_Cup_bid "Morocco 2026 FIFA World Cup bid") during a final vote at the [68th FIFA Congress](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/68th_FIFA_Congress "68th FIFA Congress") in [Moscow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow "Moscow"). It will be the first men's World Cup since [2002](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_FIFA_World_Cup "2002 FIFA World Cup") to be co-hosted by multiple nations. With its past hosting of the [1970](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970_FIFA_World_Cup "1970 FIFA World Cup") and [1986](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986_FIFA_World_Cup "1986 FIFA World Cup") tournaments, Mexico will become the first country to host or co-host the men's World Cup three times. The United States previously hosted the men's World Cup in [1994](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_FIFA_World_Cup "1994 FIFA World Cup"). By contrast, it will be Canada's first time hosting or co-hosting the men's tournament. The event will return to its traditional [Northern Hemisphere](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Hemisphere "Northern Hemisphere") summer schedule after the [2022 World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup "2022 FIFA World Cup") in [Qatar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar "Qatar") was held in November and December.
As the host nations, [Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_men%27s_national_soccer_team "Canada men's national soccer team"), [Mexico](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico_national_football_team "Mexico national football team"), and the [United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_men%27s_national_soccer_team "United States men's national soccer team") all automatically qualified. [Cape Verde](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Verde_national_football_team "Cape Verde national football team"), [Curaçao](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cura%C3%A7ao_national_football_team "Curaçao national football team"), [Jordan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_national_football_team "Jordan national football team"), and [Uzbekistan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uzbekistan_national_football_team "Uzbekistan national football team") will all make their World Cup debuts. [Argentina](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentina_national_football_team "Argentina national football team") is the [defending champion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup_final "2022 FIFA World Cup final"), having won its third World Cup title in 2022.
## Format and expansion
The idea of expanding the tournament had been suggested as early as 2013 by then [UEFA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA "UEFA") president [Michel Platini](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Platini "Michel Platini"),[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-2)[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-3) and also in 2016 by FIFA president [Gianni Infantino](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gianni_Infantino "Gianni Infantino").[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-4) Opponents of the proposal argued that the number of games played was already at an unacceptable level,[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-auto2-5) that the expansion would dilute the quality of the games,[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-auto-6)[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-auto1-7) and that the decision was driven by political rather than sporting concerns, accusing Infantino of using the promise of bringing more countries to the World Cup to [win his election](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_FIFA_Extraordinary_Congress "2016 FIFA Extraordinary Congress").[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-8)
Starting with this edition, the FIFA World Cup expanded to 48 teams, an increase of 16 teams compared to the previous seven tournaments.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-48teams-9) The teams will be split into twelve groups of four teams, with the top two teams in each group and the eight best third-placed teams progressing to a new round of 32, as approved by the [FIFA Council](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_Council "FIFA Council") on March 14, 2023.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-IMC-10) This is set to be the first expansion and format change since [1998](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_1998 "FIFA World Cup 1998").
The total number of games played will increase from 64 to 104, and the number of games played by teams reaching the final four will increase from seven to eight. The tournament will last 39 days, an increase from 32 days of the [2014](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_FIFA_World_Cup "2014 FIFA World Cup") and [2018](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup "2018 FIFA World Cup") tournaments.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-11)[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-12) Each team will still play three group matches.[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-13)[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-14) The final matchday at club level for players named in the final squads is May 24, 2026; clubs have to release their players by May 25, with exceptions granted to players participating in continental club competition finals up until May 30. The 56 days of the combined rest, release, and tournament periods remain identical to the [2010](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_FIFA_World_Cup "2010 FIFA World Cup"), 2014 and 2018 tournaments.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-IMC-10)
### Previous expansion formats
The expansion to 48 teams had already been approved on January 10, 2017, when it was decided that the tournament would include 16 groups of 3 teams, and 80 matches in total, with the top two teams of each group progressing to a round of 32.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-48teams-9)[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-15) Under this later-superseded format, the maximum number of games per team would have remained at seven, but each team would have played one fewer group match than before. The tournament would still have been completed within 32 days.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-16) This format was chosen over three other proposals, ranging from 40 to 48 teams, from 76 to 88 matches, and from one to four minimum matches per team.[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-heraldlive-17)[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-yahoo-18)[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-19)
Critics of this format argued that the use of three-team groups with two teams progressing significantly increased the risk of collusion between teams.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-guyon-20) This prompted [FIFA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA "FIFA") to suggest that [penalty shootouts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penalty_shoot-out_\(association_football\) "Penalty shoot-out (association football)") may be used to prevent draws in the group stage,[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-21) although even then some risk of collusion would remain, and a possibility would emerge of teams deliberately losing shootouts to eliminate a rival.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-guyon-20) To address these concerns, FIFA continued considering alternative formats[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-22) â a process that ended with the 2023 announcement that the format would be 12 groups of 4 teams.
## Host selection
Main articles: [United 2026 FIFA World Cup bid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_2026_FIFA_World_Cup_bid "United 2026 FIFA World Cup bid") and [Morocco 2026 FIFA World Cup bid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morocco_2026_FIFA_World_Cup_bid "Morocco 2026 FIFA World Cup bid")
The [FIFA Council](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_Council "FIFA Council") went back and forth between 2013 and 2017 on limitations within hosting rotation based on the continental confederations. Originally, it was set that bids to be host would not be allowed from countries belonging to confederations that hosted the two preceding tournaments. It was temporarily changed to only prohibit countries belonging to the confederation that hosted the previous World Cup from bidding to host the following tournament,[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-23) before the rule was changed back to its prior state of two World Cups.
The FIFA Council made an exception to potentially grant eligibility to member associations of the confederation of the second-to-last host of the FIFA World Cup in the event that none of the received bids fulfill the strict technical and financial requirements.[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-fifacouncil-24)[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-ap-cbc-25) In March 2017, FIFA president [Gianni Infantino](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gianni_Infantino "Gianni Infantino") confirmed that "Europe ([UEFA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA "UEFA")) and Asia ([AFC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Football_Confederation "Asian Football Confederation")) are excluded from the bidding following the selection of [Russia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup "2018 FIFA World Cup") and [Qatar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup "2022 FIFA World Cup") in 2018 and 2022 respectively."[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-guardian-26) Therefore, the 2026 World Cup could be hosted by one of the remaining four confederations: [CONCACAF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CONCACAF "CONCACAF") (North America; last hosted in [1994](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_FIFA_World_Cup "1994 FIFA World Cup")), [CAF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confederation_of_African_Football "Confederation of African Football") (Africa; last hosted in [2010](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_FIFA_World_Cup "2010 FIFA World Cup")), [CONMEBOL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CONMEBOL "CONMEBOL") (South America; last hosted in [2014](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_FIFA_World_Cup "2014 FIFA World Cup")), or [OFC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania_Football_Confederation "Oceania Football Confederation") (Oceania, never hosted before), or potentially by UEFA in case no bid from those four met the requirements.
Co-hosting the FIFA World Cupâwhich had been banned by FIFA after the [2002 World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_FIFA_World_Cup "2002 FIFA World Cup")âwas approved for the 2026 World Cup, though not limited to a specific number but instead evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Also for 2026, the FIFA general secretariat, after consultation with the Competitions Committee, had the power to exclude bidders who did not meet the minimum technical requirements to host the competition.[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-fifacouncil-24)
Canada, Mexico, and the United States had each publicly considered bidding for the tournament separately, but the United joint bid was announced on April 10, 2017.[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-27)[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-:3-28) In March 2022, [Liga MX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liga_MX "Liga MX") president [Mikel Arriola](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikel_Arriola "Mikel Arriola") claimed Mexico's involvement as cohost could have been at risk if the league and the federation had not responded quickly to the [QuerĂŠtaroâAtlas riot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quer%C3%A9taro%E2%80%93Atlas_riot "QuerĂŠtaroâAtlas riot") between rival fans that left 26 spectators injured and resulted in 14 arrests. Arriola said FIFA was "shocked" by the incident but Infantino was satisfied with the sanctions handed down against QuerĂŠtaro.[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-29)

During the bidding process, 41 cities with 42 existing, fully functional venues with regular tenants (except Montreal) and two venues under construction (Las Vegas and Los Angeles) submitted to be part of the bid (three venues in three cities in Mexico; six venues in six cities in Canada; 35 venues in 32 cities in the United States).[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-bids-37) A first-round elimination cut nine venues and nine cities. A second-round elimination cut an additional nine venues in six cities, while three venues in three cities ([Chicago](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago "Chicago"), [Minneapolis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minneapolis "Minneapolis"), and [Vancouver](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver "Vancouver")) dropped out due to FIFA's unwillingness to discuss financial details.[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-38) After [Montreal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal "Montreal") dropped out in July 2021 due to lack of provincial funding and support to renovate [Olympic Stadium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_Stadium_\(Montreal\) "Olympic Stadium (Montreal)"),[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-39) Vancouver rejoined the bid as a candidate city in April 2022,[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-vancouver_candidatecity-40) bringing the total number to 24 venues, each in its own city or metropolitan area.
On June 16, 2022, the sixteen host cities (two in Canada, three in Mexico, eleven in the United States) were announced by [FIFA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA "FIFA"): Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Guadalajara, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Miami, Monterrey, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Toronto, and Vancouver.[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-41) Eight of the sixteen chosen stadiums have permanent [artificial turf](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_turf "Artificial turf") surfaces that are planned to be replaced with grass under the direction of FIFA and a [University of Tennessee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Tennessee "University of Tennessee")â[Michigan State University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_State_University "Michigan State University") research team. Four venues (Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, and Vancouver) are indoor stadiums that use [retractable roof](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retractable_roof "Retractable roof") systems, all equipped with climate control while a fifth, Los Angeles, is open-air but has a translucent roof and no climate control.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-42) The host of the [final match](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup_final "2026 FIFA World Cup final")â[MetLife Stadium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MetLife_Stadium "MetLife Stadium") in [East Rutherford, New Jersey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Rutherford,_New_Jersey "East Rutherford, New Jersey")âwas announced by FIFA on February 4, 2024.[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-ESPN-Schedule-43)
Although there are [soccer-specific stadiums](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soccer-specific_stadium "Soccer-specific stadium") in Canada and the United States, the largest dedicated soccer-specific stadium in the United States, [Geodis Park](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodis_Park "Geodis Park") in [Nashville, Tennessee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nashville,_Tennessee "Nashville, Tennessee"), seats 30,000, which falls short of FIFA's minimum of 40,000 (Toronto's [BMO Field](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMO_Field "BMO Field") is being expanded from 30,000 to 45,500 for this tournament).[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-44) Stadiums including [Mercedes-Benz Stadium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_Stadium "Mercedes-Benz Stadium") in [Atlanta](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlanta "Atlanta"), [Gillette Stadium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gillette_Stadium "Gillette Stadium") in [Foxborough, Massachusetts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxborough,_Massachusetts "Foxborough, Massachusetts"), and [Lumen Field](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumen_Field "Lumen Field") in [Seattle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle "Seattle") are used by [National Football League](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_League "National Football League") (NFL) and [Major League Soccer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_League_Soccer "Major League Soccer") (MLS) teams.[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-45) Although primarily used for [gridiron football](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gridiron_football "Gridiron football"), with the American stadiums hosting NFL teams and Canada's hosting the [Canadian Football League](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Football_League "Canadian Football League") (CFL), all of the Canadian and American stadiums have been used on numerous occasions for soccer and are also designed to host that sport.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-46)
[Mexico City](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico_City "Mexico City") is the only capital of the three host nations chosen as a venue site, with [Ottawa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottawa "Ottawa") and [Washington, D.C.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C. "Washington, D.C."), joining [Bonn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonn "Bonn") ([West Germany, 1974](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_FIFA_World_Cup "1974 FIFA World Cup")) and [Tokyo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo "Tokyo") ([Japan, 2002](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_FIFA_World_Cup "2002 FIFA World Cup")) as the only capital cities not selected to host World Cup matches. Washington was a host city candidate, but due to the poor state of [FedExField](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FedExField "FedExField"), it combined its bid with nearby [Baltimore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltimore "Baltimore")'s, which was unsuccessful.

The United Bid personnel anticipated that all three host countries would be awarded automatic berths.[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-bid_cities-51) On August 31, 2022, FIFA president Gianni Infantino confirmed that six CONCACAF teams will qualify for the World Cup, with Canada, Mexico, and the United States automatically qualifying as hosts.[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-52)[\[53\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-53) This was confirmed by the [FIFA Council](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_Council "FIFA Council") on February 14, 2023.[\[54\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-54)[\[55\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-55)
Immediately prior to the 67th [FIFA Congress](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_Congress "FIFA Congress"), the FIFA Council approved the slot allocation in a meeting in [Manama](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manama "Manama"), Bahrain.[\[56\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-slot-56)[\[57\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-57) This includes an intercontinental playoff tournament involving six teams to decide the last two FIFA World Cup spots.[\[58\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-fifa_council-58)

Two of the teams will be seeded based on the [World Rankings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_Men%27s_World_Ranking "FIFA Men's World Ranking"), and they will play the winners of two knockout games between the four unseeded teams for the two [FIFA World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup "FIFA World Cup") berths. The four-game tournament is to be played in one or more of the host countries, and will also be used as a test event for the FIFA World Cup.[\[56\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-slot-56) The ratification of slot allocation also gives the [OFC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania_Football_Confederation "Oceania Football Confederation") a guaranteed berth in the final tournament for the first time: the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be the first tournament in which all six confederations have at least one guaranteed berth and also the first time since the [2010 edition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_FIFA_World_Cup "2010 FIFA World Cup") in which all confederations have a team qualified for the World Cup finals.[\[56\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-slot-56)

### Draw
Main article: [2026 FIFA World Cup seeding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup_seeding "2026 FIFA World Cup seeding")
The draw took place on December 5, 2025, at the [Kennedy Center](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy_Center "Kennedy Center") in [Washington, D.C.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C. "Washington, D.C.")[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-81) The 48 teams were divided into four pots of 12. Pot 1 consisted of the three hosts and the top nine teams from the November 2025 [FIFA Men's World Ranking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_Men%27s_World_Ranking "FIFA Men's World Ranking"). Pots 2, 3, and 4 consisted of the remaining teams according to the ranking. The four winners of the [UEFA playoffs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_UEFA_second_round "2026 FIFA World Cup qualification â UEFA second round") and the two winners of the [inter-confederation playoffs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_\(inter-confederation_play-offs\) "2026 FIFA World Cup qualification (inter-confederation play-offs)") were not known at the time of the draw and thus were automatically allocated to Pot 4. The 12 groups were randomly formed by selecting one team from each of the four pots. FIFA's "general principle, whenever possible", was that no group had more than one team from the same confederation drawn into it.[\[72\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-82)[\[73\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-83) This principle was applicable to all confederations except UEFA; each group was required to have either one or two UEFA teams drawn into it.
The three host nations were pre-allocated to three groups for scheduling purposes. Mexico was placed in Group A and will play the opening match of the tournament at Estadio Azteca on June 11. Canada and the United States were placed in Groups B and D, respectively. They will play the third and fourth matches of the tournament, respectively, both on June 12.[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Schedule-1)[\[74\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-84)
The confederation restriction applied to all three potential winners of the inter-confederation playoffs. FIFA also announced that, "in the interest of ensuring competitive balance", two separate pathways to the semifinals (sides of the knockout bracket) were established. Based on this, the teams ranked first (Spain) and second (Argentina) in the ranking were randomly drawn into groups in opposite pathways, as were the teams ranked third (France) and fourth (England). Therefore, should these pairs of teams win their groups, they will be unable to meet until the final, while all four will be unable to meet until the semifinals.[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-85) The draw started with Pot 1 and ended with Pot 4, with each team selected then allocated into the first available group alphabetically. For the purpose of the match schedule, the Pot 1 teams were automatically drawn into position 1 of each group. For the remaining pots, FIFA established a predetermined pattern to define the position of teams based on their pot and the group they were drawn into.

## Match schedule
The match schedule, without group assignments, was announced on February 4, 2024.[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Schedule-1)[\[116\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-139)[\[117\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Q&A-140) On June 13, 2024, FIFA released an updated schedule, with specific pairings assigned to venues for the knockout stage.[\[118\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-141) In addition, group stage matches were assigned to specific groups (though pairings for non-host groups were not assigned to specific games until after the final draw). The full schedule was unveiled in a live broadcast on December 6, 2025, the day after the draw.[\[119\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-142)
The opening match was announced to include Mexico, taking place on June 11, 2026, at the [Estadio Azteca](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estadio_Azteca "Estadio Azteca") in [Mexico City](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico_City "Mexico City").

## Group stage
| Tie-breaking criteria for group stage ranking |
|---|
| The ranking of teams in each group is determined by the points obtained in all group matches. If two or more teams are equal on points, the following criteria are used to determine the ranking:[\[124\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-regulations-147) Most points obtained in the group matches played between the teams concerned; Superior goal difference in the group matches played between the teams concerned; Most goals scored in the group matches played between the teams concerned; If, after having applied criteria a to c, teams still had an equal ranking, criteria a to c are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the teams who are still level to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria d to h apply. Superior goal difference in all group matches; Most goals scored in all group matches; Highest team conduct ("fair play") score in all group matches (only one deduction can be applied to a player or team coach/official in a single match): Yellow card: â1 point; Indirect red card (second yellow card): â3 points; Direct red card: â4 points; Yellow card and direct red card: â5 points; Better position in the most recent [FIFA Men's World Ranking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_Men%27s_World_Ranking "FIFA Men's World Ranking"); Better position in progressively older FIFA Men's World Rankings until teams can be separated. |
Prior to the final draw, stadiums were assigned to specific groups.[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Schedule-1) Following the final draw, pairings were allocated to specific matches, and the kickoff times were confirmed.[\[117\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Q&A-140)[\[125\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-148)

## Statistics
### Discipline
A player or team official is automatically suspended for the next match for the following offenses:[\[124\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-regulations-147)
- Receiving a red card (red card suspensions may be extended for serious offenses)
- Receiving two yellow cards in two matches;[\[X\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-149) yellow cards expire after the completion of the quarterfinals (yellow card suspensions are not carried forward to any other future international matches)
Only pending red card suspensions from qualification will be carried forward to the final tournament.[\[124\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-regulations-147)
During qualification, [Cristiano Ronaldo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristiano_Ronaldo "Cristiano Ronaldo") was sent off for violent conduct in Portugal's penultimate match, with such an offense typically resulting in a ban of at least two matches. Ronaldo was handed a three-match ban, though the final two matches of the ban were suspended for a one-year probationary period, making him eligible to appear in Portugal's opening World Cup match.[\[126\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-150)
The following suspensions will be served during the tournament:

Countdown clock on [Paseo de la Reforma](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paseo_de_la_Reforma "Paseo de la Reforma"), Mexico City
The official emblem and brand identity was unveiled on May 17, 2023, at the [Griffith Observatory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griffith_Observatory "Griffith Observatory") in [Los Angeles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles "Los Angeles"), [California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California "California"); its basic form consists of a stacked "26" with an image of the [FIFA World Cup Trophy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy "FIFA World Cup Trophy") in front of it (marking the first time that the trophy has been depicted in a World Cup emblem as a photo, as opposed to a stylized representation), but it is designed to be adaptable to different backdrops.[\[129\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-153)[\[130\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-:0-154) The next day, FIFA unveiled variants of the emblem for each of the host cities, which feature color variants and designs that reflect local landscapes or culture (with the Los Angeles emblem featuring a stylized sun and wave, the Monterrey emblem featuring imagery of the [Cerro de la Silla](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerro_de_la_Silla "Cerro de la Silla") mountain, and Toronto featuring the city skyline and the [CN Tower](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CN_Tower "CN Tower")).[\[131\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-155)[\[132\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-156)
Reaction to the logo from the initial unveiling was largely negative, with many feeling that the design was either unfinished or uncreative compared to the emblems of past FIFA World Cup tournaments. By contrast, [United States national team](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_men%27s_national_soccer_team "United States men's national soccer team") player [JesĂşs Ferreira](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jes%C3%BAs_Ferreira "JesĂşs Ferreira") described the emblem as "beautiful".[\[133\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-157)[\[130\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-:0-154)[\[134\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-158)
#### Posters
In April 2025, FIFA unveiled a set of 16 posters representing each of the 2026 World Cup host cities. Each poster has been a vibrant celebration of local culture, landmarks, and soccer spirit, capturing the unique identity of every host city in this tournament.[\[135\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Official_posters-159)[\[136\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-160)

### Broadcasting rights
Main article: [2026 FIFA World Cup broadcasting rights](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup_broadcasting_rights "2026 FIFA World Cup broadcasting rights")
On February 12, 2015, FIFA renewed the United States and Canadian broadcasting rights contracts for [Fox](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_Sports_\(United_States\) "Fox Sports (United States)") (U.S. English), [NBCUniversal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telemundo_Deportes "Telemundo Deportes") (U.S. Spanish), and [Bell Media](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Media "Bell Media") (Canada) to cover the 2026 World Cup, without accepting any other bids. A report in *[The New York Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times "The New York Times")* asserted that this extension was intended as compensation for the rescheduling of the [2022 World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup "2022 FIFA World Cup") to NovemberâDecember rather than its traditional JuneâJuly scheduling, as it created considerable conflicts with [major professional sports leagues](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_professional_sports_leagues_in_the_United_States_and_Canada "Major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada") that are normally in their offseasons during the World Cup.[\[137\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-161)[\[138\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-162)[\[139\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-cangloberights-163)
[FĂştbol de Primera](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%BAtbol_de_Primera_\(radio_network\) "FĂştbol de Primera (radio network)") has the Spanish radio broadcasting rights in the United States and Puerto Rico.[\[140\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-:03-164)

## Awards
### FIFA Peace Prize
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:P202512005DT-0500_President_Donald_Trump_participates_in_the_FIFA_World_Cup_drawing.jpg)
Donald Trump receives a certificate as the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize winner in December 2025 from Gianni Infantino for an "unwavering commitment to advancing peace and unity".
The FIFA Peace Prize is an international award presented by [FIFA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA "FIFA"). Established in 2025, its stated aim is to honor individuals whose actions FIFA characterizes as exceptional contributions to peace and unity, reflecting its campaign slogan "Football Unites the World".[\[221\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-FIFA-announcement-245)[\[222\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-HT-246) According to FIFA, the purpose of the prize is to "reward individuals who have taken exceptional and extraordinary actions for peace and by doing so have united people across the world".[\[221\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-FIFA-announcement-245)
The FIFA Peace Prize was awarded on December 5, 2025, to United States president [Donald Trump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump "Donald Trump") during the draw for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, held at the [Kennedy Center](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy_Center "Kennedy Center") in [Washington, D.C.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C. "Washington, D.C.").[\[223\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Guardian-main-247)[\[224\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-AP-248)[\[225\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-SkyNews-249) FIFA stated that the award recognized his "involvement in ceasefire efforts and diplomatic engagements in several conflicts".[\[221\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-FIFA-announcement-245)[\[226\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Dawn-250)[\[227\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-RNZ-251)
The creation of the prize and the choice of Trump as its first recipient generated widespread scrutiny and controversy. Human rights groups, analysts and football stakeholders questioned the transparency of the selection process, the suitability of the inaugural laureate, and the implications both for FIFA's claims of political neutrality and its human rights commitments.[\[228\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-AJ-Analysis-252)[\[229\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Amnesty-253)[\[230\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-NewHumanitarian-254)[\[231\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-255)
#### Selection process
FIFA stated that the Peace Prize would be awarded on the recommendation of an independent committee. However, as of the first award, the organization had not disclosed detailed nomination procedures or evaluation criteria.[\[224\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-AP-248)[\[222\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-HT-246) FIFA had also not made clear the manner by which the recipient was selected or the exact form the prize would take.[\[232\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-256)
According to *[The New York Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times "The New York Times")*, the prize was not discussed at the [FIFA Council](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_Council "FIFA Council") or with FIFA vice presidents, none of whom had input into the selection criteria, prior to its creation in October 2025.[\[233\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-crafton-257) The process behind the award was not made public: there were no nominations announced and no formal selection criteria given.[\[233\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-crafton-257)[\[234\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-bedigan-258) Human rights groups, including [Human Rights Watch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Rights_Watch "Human Rights Watch"), criticized the lack of transparency, reporting that queries about nominees, judges, and criteria remained unanswered.[\[235\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-HRW-259)[\[229\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Amnesty-253)[\[236\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-SportDev-260)
Investigations by *The Guardian* and other outlets identified [Zaw Zaw](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaw_Zaw "Zaw Zaw"), a Myanmar businessman and long-serving president of the [Myanmar Football Federation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myanmar_Football_Federation "Myanmar Football Federation"), as chair of the selection committee.[\[237\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Guardian-ZawZaw-261)[\[238\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-SportsCrime-262) Critics highlighted his ties to Myanmar's former military junta and to human rights abuses against the [Rohingya people](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohingya_people "Rohingya people"), raising concerns about the credibility of a peace award under his oversight.[\[237\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Guardian-ZawZaw-261)[\[238\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-SportsCrime-262)[\[235\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-HRW-259)
### Prize money
In December 2025, FIFA announced the prizes for all participating nations. This edition's total prize pool will be \$655 million, \$215 million greater than the prize pool of the [previous tournament](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup "2022 FIFA World Cup"). Each qualified team will also receive an additional \$1.5 million before the competition to cover preparation costs, thus guaranteed a minimum \$10.5 million total in prize money.[\[239\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-263)[\[240\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-264)
| Place | Teams | Amount (in millions) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per team | Total | | |
| Champions | 1 | \$50 | \$50 |
| Runners-up | 1 | \$33 | \$33 |
| Third place | 1 | \$29 | \$29 |
| Fourth place | 1 | \$27 | \$27 |
| 5thâ8th place (quarter-finals) | 4 | \$19 | \$76 |

| 33rdâ48th place (group stage) | 16 | \$9 | \$144 |
| Total | 48 | \$655 | |
## Concerns
### Climate concerns
In January 2025, [Queen's University Belfast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen%27s_University_Belfast "Queen's University Belfast") warned about potential heat risks for most of the host cities and urged FIFA to schedule match kickoffs later into the afternoon or evening, stating that the [wet-bulb globe temperature](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_globe_temperature "Wet-bulb globe temperature") in certain host cities was higher than that of Qatar in the winter.[\[241\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-265) During the [2025 FIFA Club World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_FIFA_Club_World_Cup "2025 FIFA Club World Cup"), which was also hosted in the United States, several matches reported high temperatures ranging from 90 to 102 °F (32 to 39 °C) and weather delays.[\[242\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-266)[\[243\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-267) In December 2025, FIFA announced that all matches at the 2026 World Cup would include a mandatory three-minute hydration break in each half to allow players to rest in hot conditions.[\[244\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-268) The three-minute period would also be available for commercials at the discretion of tournament broadcasters.[\[245\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-269)
Concerns have also been raised by climate activists about the environmental impact of both the expansion to 48 teams as well as traveling between host cities, most of which will require extensive air travel and increase carbon emissions, a counter to one of FIFA's goals on sustainability.[\[246\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-270) A report by [Scientists for Global Responsibility](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientists_for_Global_Responsibility "Scientists for Global Responsibility") in July 2025 calculated that the amount of greenhouse gas emissions for the tournament would make it one of the most polluting events in the world as it would be almost double the average for the last four tournaments (2022 reportedly had 5.25 million metric tons \[5.79 million short tons\]), roughly the same amount as 6.5 million cars driven for a year.[\[247\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-271)
### Immigration policy concerns under the Trump administration
During the bidding process, President [Donald Trump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump "Donald Trump")'s [executive orders regarding immigration from certain Muslim-majority countries in 2017](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_travel_ban "Trump travel ban") implemented during his [first term](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_presidency_of_Donald_Trump "First presidency of Donald Trump") were touted as a potential risk. Infantino stated, "any team, including the supporters and officials of that team, who qualify for a World Cup need to have access to the country, otherwise there is no World Cup."[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-guardian-26) In response, the Trump administration sent letters to FIFA that read, in part, that Trump was "confident" that "all eligible athletes, officials and fans from all countries around the world would be able to enter the United States without discrimination."[\[248\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-272)
Concerns around the staging of the tournament were also raised during the first meeting of the [FIFA World Cup Task Force](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_2026_Task_Force "FIFA World Cup 2026 Task Force") due to the [immigration policy of the second Donald Trump administration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_policy_of_the_second_Donald_Trump_administration "Immigration policy of the second Donald Trump administration"). In response, Vice President [JD Vance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JD_Vance "JD Vance") said, "Of course, everybody is welcome to come and see this incredible event, but when the time is up, they'll have to go home. Otherwise, they'll have to talk to [Secretary Noem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristi_Noem "Kristi Noem")."[\[249\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-273)
On June 11, 2025, the Sports & Rights Alliance, [Human Rights Watch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Rights_Watch "Human Rights Watch"), and [Amnesty International](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amnesty_International "Amnesty International") called on FIFA to ensure that [human rights in the United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_the_United_States "Human rights in the United States") were upheld during the tournament, especially in light of the use of force during the [anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_2025_Los_Angeles_protests_against_mass_deportation "June 2025 Los Angeles protests against mass deportation") where journalists and protesters were attacked by local police.[\[250\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-sportsright-274)[\[251\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-275)[\[252\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-bbc_live-276) Following the killings of civilians [RenĂŠe Good](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Ren%C3%A9e_Good "Killing of RenĂŠe Good") and [Alex Pretti](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Alex_Pretti "Killing of Alex Pretti") by federal agents during [immigration enforcement operations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Metro_Surge "Operation Metro Surge") in the [MinneapolisâSaint Paul](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minneapolis%E2%80%93Saint_Paul "MinneapolisâSaint Paul") area in January 2026, fan group [Football Supporters Europe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_Supporters_Europe "Football Supporters Europe") stated that it was "extremely concerned by the ongoing militarisation of police forces in the US."[\[253\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-277)
#### 2025 travel ban and exemptions
In June 2025, the [second Trump administration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_presidency_of_Donald_Trump "Second presidency of Donald Trump") reinstated a [travel ban](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proclamation_10949 "Proclamation 10949") affecting citizens from multiple countries, citing national security concerns.[\[254\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-278) The ban, which was later expanded in December, prohibits the issuance of new immigrant and [non-immigrant visas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travel_visa "Travel visa") for citizens of 39 affected countries, including those whose teams have qualified for the World Cupâ[Haiti](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiti "Haiti"), [Iran](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran "Iran"), [Ivory Coast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivory_Coast "Ivory Coast"), and [Senegal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senegal "Senegal"). The proclamation includes an exemption for any athlete or member of an athletic team, including coaches, persons performing a necessary support role, and immediate relatives, traveling for the World Cup, [Olympics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_Games "Olympic Games"), or other major sporting events as determined by the [Secretary of State](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_State "United States Secretary of State").[\[255\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-279)[\[256\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-280)
This exemption ensured that national teams' players, coaches, and staff of those designated countries would be permitted to enter the United States for the competition, but the [U.S. State Department](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_State "United States Department of State") confirmed that ordinary citizens of the four countries were not covered by this exemption, making them ineligible for visa issuance to attend the matches. While fans were permitted to submit visa applications with the promise of priority if they provided proof of tickets, the department noted that issuance would be unlikely, barring rare "national interest" waivers. However, this restriction can be circumvented if a fan is a valid visa holder, a permanent resident, or a [dual national](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_citizenship "Multiple citizenship") who applies using a passport not subject to the ban. In such cases, applicants may still be eligible to enter or apply for entry, provided they satisfy all other immigration and security requirements.[\[257\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-281)[\[258\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-282)[\[259\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-283)
### Iran's participation
On November 27, 2025, the [Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_Federation_Islamic_Republic_of_Iran "Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran") (FFIRI) said it would boycott the December 5 World Cup draw after its president, [Mehdi Taj](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehdi_Taj "Mehdi Taj"), was denied a visa to enter the United States. Four other delegation members, including head coach [Amir Ghalenoei](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amir_Ghalenoei "Amir Ghalenoei"), were approved. An FFIRI spokesperson told state media the United States' decision was "unrelated to sport" and said the federation quickly raised the issue with FIFA President [Gianni Infantino](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gianni_Infantino "Gianni Infantino").[\[260\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-284) However, on December 3, the FFIRI reversed its decision and announced that it would send representatives to the draw, with head coach Ghalenoei serving as the technical representative of the national football team.[\[261\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-285)
#### Protests and massacres in Iran

In January 2026, multiple Iranian soccer players and athletes were killed during the [2026 Iran massacres](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_massacres "2026 Iran massacres") amid [protests](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025%E2%80%932026_Iranian_protests "2025â2026 Iranian protests"), including former [Tractor Sazi F.C.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractor_Sazi_F.C. "Tractor Sazi F.C.") midfielder [Mojtaba Tarshiz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojtaba_Tarshiz "Mojtaba Tarshiz"), prompting former [Iran national team](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_national_football_team "Iran national football team") captain [Masoud Shojaei](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masoud_Shojaei "Masoud Shojaei") to criticize FIFA for its silence over the killing of Iranian athletes during protests, while then-captain [Mehdi Taremi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehdi_Taremi "Mehdi Taremi") expressed solidarity with the Iranian people.[\[262\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-286)[\[263\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-287)[\[264\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-288)[\[265\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-sport-thousands-killed-289) [Ali Karimi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Karimi "Ali Karimi"), a former player for the Iran national team, along with a coalition of prominent Iranians, wrote an open letter to FIFA and all its member associations, calling on Infantino to speak up on the protest deaths.[\[266\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-290) Following the massacres, activists and former Iranian wrestling coach [Sardar Pashaei](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardar_Pashaei "Sardar Pashaei") called on FIFA and the [International Olympic Committee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Olympic_Committee "International Olympic Committee") to ban the Iranian teams from the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the [2026 Winter Olympics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_at_the_2026_Winter_Olympics "Iran at the 2026 Winter Olympics").[\[267\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-291)
#### Iran war
See also: [2026 Iran war](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_war "2026 Iran war")
Further complications regarding Iran's participation occurred as a result of the [2026 IranâUnited States crisis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prelude_to_the_2026_Iran_war "Prelude to the 2026 Iran war") in February 2026, which resulted in the [United States and Israel launching missiles at Iran](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_war "2026 Iran war"). In retaliation, Iran launched missiles at Israel and [Persian Gulf Arab states](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_states_of_the_Persian_Gulf "Arab states of the Persian Gulf"), as well as additional spillover missile strikes in Jordan. FIFA stated that it was monitoring the situation and was focused on getting all countries to participate, despite reports saying Iran may not participate.[\[268\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-292)[\[269\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-293)[\[270\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-294)
According to *[The Guardian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardian "The Guardian")*, if Iran were to withdraw, intercontinental playoff participant [Iraq](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_national_football_team "Iraq national football team") or the [United Arab Emirates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Arab_Emirates_national_football_team "United Arab Emirates national football team"), the last [Asian Football Confederation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Football_Confederation "Asian Football Confederation") team to be [eliminated from the qualifiers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_AFC_fifth_round "2026 FIFA World Cup qualification â AFC fifth round"), could be likely beneficiaries to replace it in [Group G](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup_Group_G "2026 FIFA World Cup Group G").[\[271\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-295)[\[272\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-296) FIFA has warned that Iran could face fines and a ban from future competitions should it withdraw from the tournament.[\[273\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-297) However, on March 10, Iran hinted that it may do so due to the risk of defections from players, similar to the [women's team](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defection_of_Iran_women%27s_national_football_team "Defection of Iran women's national football team") during the [2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_AFC_Women%27s_Asian_Cup "2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup") in Australia.[\[274\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-298)
Following a meeting with U.S. President Trump on March 10, Infantino said that Trump had reiterated that the Iranian team "is, of course, welcome to compete in the tournament in the United States".[\[275\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-299) In a post on [Truth Social](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth_Social "Truth Social"), Trump later added that, while the team is welcome, it would "\[not be\] appropriate that they be there, for their own life and safety".[\[276\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-300) In response, Iran asked for FIFA to remove the United States as tournament hosts, referring to Trump's statement that the Iranian team's safety could not be guaranteed.[\[277\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-301)[\[278\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-goal.com_13Mar2026-302)
On March 11, Iran's [Minister of Sport and Youth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Sport_and_Youth_\(Iran\) "Ministry of Sport and Youth (Iran)"), [Ahmad Donyamali](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmad_Donyamali "Ahmad Donyamali"), reportedly ruled out participation in the World Cup in an interview with [Deutsche Presse-Agentur](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Presse-Agentur "Deutsche Presse-Agentur"), citing the [assassination of Ali Khamenei](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Ali_Khamenei "Assassination of Ali Khamenei"), and later told [Iranian state television](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Republic_of_Iran_Broadcasting "Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting") that "under âno circumstances âcan we â participate in the World Cup", though the team's withdrawal has not been confirmed by FIFA.[\[279\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-303)[\[280\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-304)
On March 17, it was reported that FFIRI was negotiating with FIFA to move Iran's scheduled matches from the United States to Mexico, again citing Trump's statement that the Iranian team's safety could not be guaranteed.[\[281\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-CNNIranMX-305) However, FIFA denied Iran's request to move its matches and said that the schedule will go ahead as planned.[\[282\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-306)
That same day, the [Asian Football Confederation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Football_Confederation "Asian Football Confederation") stated that it had not received any formal notification from Iran regarding an intention to withdraw from the tournament. Speaking to reporters in [Kuala Lumpur](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuala_Lumpur "Kuala Lumpur"), [Malaysia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia "Malaysia"), General Secretary [Windsor John](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windsor_John "Windsor John") said that the final decision rests with FFIRI, adding that "the federation has informed us that they are going to the World Cup." He also expressed hope that Iran would resolve its internal issues and participate, noting that the team was among the first Asian teams to secure qualification, having done so in March 2025.[\[281\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-CNNIranMX-305)
On March 27, ahead of a scheduled [AFC Champions League Elite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFC_Champions_League_Elite "AFC Champions League Elite") match, state media reported that Iran's Ministry of Sport and Youth had banned its sports teams from traveling to countries it considers "hostile", but it did not explicitly mention the World Cup.[\[283\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-307)
The Group G host cities, which include [Los Angeles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles "Los Angeles") and [Seattle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle "Seattle"), as well as Iran's base camp city [Tucson, Arizona](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucson,_Arizona "Tucson, Arizona"), reportedly fear increased security risks.[\[278\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-goal.com_13Mar2026-302)
##### Impact on Iraq
The war also significantly impacted Iraq's logistical preparations for the interconfederation playoffs, needing to win just one match to qualify for the World Cup. Following the closure of Iraqi airspace and the suspension of international flights, the Mexican [Secretariat of Foreign Affairs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretariat_of_Foreign_Affairs_\(Mexico\) "Secretariat of Foreign Affairs (Mexico)") intervened to grant entry visas for the national team through diplomatic channels in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, since Mexico does not have an embassy in Iraq.[\[284\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-308) However, despite the issuance of visas, over 60% of the domestic-based squad remained stranded in Baghdad, and a scheduled training camp in Houston before the playoffs was canceled.[\[285\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-WST-309)[\[286\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-FSAU-310) Head coach [Graham Arnold](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Arnold "Graham Arnold") was forced to manage team operations remotely from the United Arab Emirates, as the delegation was unable to secure safe passage out of the conflict zone during the initial weeks of the war.[\[287\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-SSSA-311)
The [Iraq Football Association](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_Football_Association "Iraq Football Association") (IFA) formally petitioned FIFA to postpone the playoff match, citing the impossibility of safe transit for the players and staff.[\[285\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-WST-309) FIFA denied the request, citing the rigidity of the [FIFA International Match Calendar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_International_Match_Calendar "FIFA International Match Calendar"), and instead proposed an alternative overland route through Turkey to Istanbul.[\[286\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-FSAU-310) This proposal was rejected by IFA and Arnold due to security concerns regarding [repeated Iranian strikes in the Kurdistan region](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iranian_strikes_on_the_Kurdistan_Region "2026 Iranian strikes on the Kurdistan Region").[\[287\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-SSSA-311) Amidst these travel complications, the Mexican government maintained its commitment to the team's participation, working directly with the Iraqi Embassy in Mexico to finalize all documentation. On March 16, it was confirmed that FIFA would provide a chartered private jet to transport the Iraqi team to Mexico.[\[288\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-312) The original plan was for the team to fly on March 20 from the [Arar Domestic Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arar_Domestic_Airport "Arar Domestic Airport") in Saudi Arabia, near the [Iraqi border](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq%E2%80%93Saudi_Arabia_border "IraqâSaudi Arabia border"), and arrive in Monterrey the next day, 10 days before the match.[\[289\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-313) However, further airspace closures in the area forced the group of players and staff based in Iraq to travel overland to Jordan where they departed on a charter flight from [Queen Alia International Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Alia_International_Airport "Queen Alia International Airport") in [Amman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amman "Amman") on March 21. After a technical layover in [Lisbon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisbon "Lisbon"), they arrived in Monterrey minutes after midnight.[\[290\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-314)[\[291\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-315)
### Pride Match (Egypt vs. Iran)
See also: [Egypt vs Iran at the 2026 FIFA World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt_vs_Iran_at_the_2026_FIFA_World_Cup "Egypt vs Iran at the 2026 FIFA World Cup")
A "[Pride](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_\(LGBTQ_culture\) "Pride (LGBTQ culture)") Match" was planned in advance to take place in Seattle, organized by the local committee to tie into the [local celebration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_Pride "Seattle Pride") and without endorsement by FIFA. After the draw and release of the schedule, it was determined that this match would feature Egypt and Iran, two countries where homosexuality is [punishable by law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBTQ_rights_by_country_or_territory "LGBTQ rights by country or territory").[\[292\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-316) Seattle's Pride Match Advisory Committee spokesperson said "The Pride Match has been scheduled to celebrate and elevate Pride events in Seattle and across the country and it was planned well in advance".[\[293\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-317) [Iranian Football Federation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_Federation_Islamic_Republic_of_Iran "Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran") President [Mehdi Taj](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehdi_Taj "Mehdi Taj") said both countries had "objections" and that the branding was an "irrational move that supports a certain group." Iran was planning to appeal the decision.[\[294\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-318) The [Egyptian Football Association](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Football_Association "Egyptian Football Association") also sent a formal letter to FIFA Secretary General [Mattias GrafstrĂśm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mattias_Grafstr%C3%B6m "Mattias GrafstrĂśm") rejecting "in absolute terms" LGBTQ connections to the game.[\[295\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-319)
### Human rights and security concerns in Mexico
#### Labor rights
In March 2025, the trade union [Building and Wood Workers' International](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_and_Wood_Workers%27_International "Building and Wood Workers' International") (BWI) accused FIFA of blocking a planned labor inspection at Mexico City's [Estadio Azteca](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estadio_Azteca "Estadio Azteca"), which is undergoing renovations in preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. According to BWI, FIFA's intervention prevented inspectors from evaluating working conditions at the site, raising concerns about potential labor rights violations similar to [alleged instances of slave labor at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup#Migrant_workers "2022 FIFA World Cup").[\[296\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-320)
#### Unrest in Jalisco
Following the [capture and death](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Jalisco_operation "2026 Jalisco operation") of [Jalisco New Generation Cartel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jalisco_New_Generation_Cartel "Jalisco New Generation Cartel") (CJNG) leader [Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera Cervantes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Mencho "El Mencho") in [Tapalpa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapalpa "Tapalpa") on February 22, 2026, [retaliatory violence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Mexico_cartel_unrest "2026 Mexico cartel unrest") was launched by CJNG members across the state of [Jalisco](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jalisco "Jalisco") and various other Mexican states which involved shootouts, explosions, and blocking roads using burnt vehicles as well as setting fire to various businesses, raising concerns about security during games played in [Guadalajara](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guadalajara "Guadalajara"), Jalisco's largest city. Despite this, FIFA officials have no intentions to move any games and the Mexican government has reassured visitors that security would be guaranteed for visitors.[\[297\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-321)[\[298\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-322) In March 2026, Mexico announced that 100,000 troops would be deployed for security during the tournament.[\[299\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-323)
### Impact of final game halftime show
On September 28, 2024, FIFA announced that [Global Citizen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Citizen_\(organization\) "Global Citizen (organization)"), an international advocacy organization, would co-produce a [halftime show](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halftime_show "Halftime show") for the [final game](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup_final "2026 FIFA World Cup final") at [MetLife Stadium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MetLife_Stadium "MetLife Stadium"), the first halftime show in the history of the World Cup.[\[300\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-324) The show is intended to copy the format of the [Super Bowl halftime show](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_halftime_show "Super Bowl halftime show"), featuring a well-known musical performer to increase the tournament's commercial appeal in the market.
The show has generated debate in the global soccer community. Supporters argue that the event modernizes the World Cup and provides a platform for global cultural exchange and revenue growth. However, critics, players, media, unions, and traditionalist fan groups have criticized what they view as the "[Americanization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americanization "Americanization")" of soccer. Primary objections focus on the potential extension of the traditional 15-minute halftime interval, which generated an argument that it will disrupt player recovery, interfere with technical coaching adjustments, and break the natural flow of the game.[\[301\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-325)[\[302\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-326)
### Decentralized host committees in the United States
Unlike previous World Cups where there was a centralized organizing committee, each of the 11 U.S. host cities have set up their own individual host committees, with independent deals with FIFA. As a result, most of the financial and legal responsibilities have shifted from a national level to a local one, including the majority of those for infrastructure improvements, public safety and security, and transportation.[\[303\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-NYTFeb26-327)[\[304\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-NESNFeb26-328)
In February 2026, the [Select Board of Foxborough](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxborough,_Massachusetts#Government "Foxborough, Massachusetts") refused to grant the entertainment license to hold games at [Gillette Stadium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gillette_Stadium "Gillette Stadium"), stating that they still needed \$7.8 million upfront in security funding, which is too heavy of a burden for a community with a population of about 18,000 to pay now and wait to be reimbursed later.[\[303\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-NYTFeb26-327)[\[305\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-NBCBostonFeb17-329) While the federal government had earmarked a total of \$625 million for security in the 11 U.S. host cities, it remained unclear how much Foxborough's share would be and when it would receive it.[\[306\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-330) In addition, while the local Boston host committee is responsible for most of the public safety costs, they were still waiting on federal grant funding.[\[304\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-NESNFeb26-328) The town board had set a deadline of March 17 for the funding issue to be resolved, which was accomplished when [Robert Kraft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kraft "Robert Kraft") agreed five days before the deadline that [his company](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraft_Group "Kraft Group") would pay the bill.[\[305\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-NBCBostonFeb17-329)[\[307\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-331)
Various cities have also had issues regarding the planning of the [FIFA Fan Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_Fan_Festival "FIFA Fan Festival"), which has resulted in plans for large central fan festivals, typically seen at the tournament, either being cancelled and replaced with smaller community focused festivals or scaled down due to high costs in [New York/New Jersey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_metropolitan_area "New York metropolitan area"), [Miami](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami "Miami"), and [Seattle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle "Seattle").[\[308\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-332)[\[309\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-333)[\[310\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-334)
## Notes
1. **[^](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_ref-60)** Curaçao is the smallest country by area and the least populous to qualify for the World Cup. Excluding teams from the [United Kingdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom "United Kingdom"), Curaçao is also the first team representing a non-sovereign nation to qualify for the World Cup since the Dutch East Indies (currently [Indonesia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesia_at_the_FIFA_World_Cup "Indonesia at the FIFA World Cup")) in [1938](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1938_FIFA_World_Cup "1938 FIFA World Cup").

Following the [dissolution of the Soviet Union](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissolution_of_the_Soviet_Union "Dissolution of the Soviet Union"), Uzbekistan will become the third former Soviet republic to compete as an independent nation after [Russia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia_national_football_team "Russia national football team") ([1994](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_FIFA_World_Cup "1994 FIFA World Cup"), [2002](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_FIFA_World_Cup "2002 FIFA World Cup"), [2014](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_FIFA_World_Cup "2014 FIFA World Cup") and [2018](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup "2018 FIFA World Cup")) and [Ukraine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine_national_football_team "Ukraine national football team") ([2006](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_FIFA_World_Cup "2006 FIFA World Cup")).

The **2026 FIFA World Cup** will be the 23rd [FIFA World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup "FIFA World Cup"), the [quadrennial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrennial "Quadrennial") international men's [soccer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_football "Association football") championship contested by the [national teams](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_men%27s_national_association_football_teams "List of men's national association football teams") of the member associations of [FIFA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA "FIFA"). The tournament will take place from June 11 to July 19, 2026.[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Schedule-1) It will be jointly hosted by sixteen citiesâeleven in the [United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States "United States"), three in [Mexico](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico "Mexico"), and two in [Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada "Canada"). The tournament will be the first FIFA World Cup to be hosted by three nations, and the first to include 48 teams, an expansion from 32.
The [United 2026 bid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_2026_FIFA_World_Cup_bid "United 2026 FIFA World Cup bid") beat a [rival bid by Morocco](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morocco_2026_FIFA_World_Cup_bid "Morocco 2026 FIFA World Cup bid") during a final vote at the [68th FIFA Congress](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/68th_FIFA_Congress "68th FIFA Congress") in [Moscow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow "Moscow"). It will be the first men's World Cup since [2002](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_FIFA_World_Cup "2002 FIFA World Cup") to be co-hosted by multiple nations. With its past hosting of the [1970](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970_FIFA_World_Cup "1970 FIFA World Cup") and [1986](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986_FIFA_World_Cup "1986 FIFA World Cup") tournaments, Mexico will become the first country to host or co-host the men's World Cup three times. The United States previously hosted the men's World Cup in [1994](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_FIFA_World_Cup "1994 FIFA World Cup"). By contrast, it will be Canada's first time hosting or co-hosting the men's tournament. The event will return to its traditional [Northern Hemisphere](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Hemisphere "Northern Hemisphere") summer schedule after the [2022 World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup "2022 FIFA World Cup") in [Qatar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar "Qatar") was held in November and December.
As the host nations, [Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_men%27s_national_soccer_team "Canada men's national soccer team"), [Mexico](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico_national_football_team "Mexico national football team"), and the [United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_men%27s_national_soccer_team "United States men's national soccer team") all automatically qualified. [Cape Verde](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Verde_national_football_team "Cape Verde national football team"), [Curaçao](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cura%C3%A7ao_national_football_team "Curaçao national football team"), [Jordan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_national_football_team "Jordan national football team"), and [Uzbekistan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uzbekistan_national_football_team "Uzbekistan national football team") will all make their World Cup debuts. [Argentina](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentina_national_football_team "Argentina national football team") is the [defending champion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup_final "2022 FIFA World Cup final"), having won its third World Cup title in 2022.
Format and expansion
The idea of expanding the tournament had been suggested as early as 2013 by then [UEFA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA "UEFA") president [Michel Platini](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Platini "Michel Platini"),[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-2)[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-3) and also in 2016 by FIFA president [Gianni Infantino](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gianni_Infantino "Gianni Infantino").[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-4) Opponents of the proposal argued that the number of games played was already at an unacceptable level,[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-auto2-5) that the expansion would dilute the quality of the games,[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-auto-6)[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-auto1-7) and that the decision was driven by political rather than sporting concerns, accusing Infantino of using the promise of bringing more countries to the World Cup to [win his election](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_FIFA_Extraordinary_Congress "2016 FIFA Extraordinary Congress").[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-8)
Starting with this edition, the FIFA World Cup expanded to 48 teams, an increase of 16 teams compared to the previous seven tournaments.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-48teams-9) The teams will be split into twelve groups of four teams, with the top two teams in each group and the eight best third-placed teams progressing to a new round of 32, as approved by the [FIFA Council](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_Council "FIFA Council") on March 14, 2023.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-IMC-10) This is set to be the first expansion and format change since [1998](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_1998 "FIFA World Cup 1998").
The total number of games played will increase from 64 to 104, and the number of games played by teams reaching the final four will increase from seven to eight. The tournament will last 39 days, an increase from 32 days of the [2014](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_FIFA_World_Cup "2014 FIFA World Cup") and [2018](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup "2018 FIFA World Cup") tournaments.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-11)[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-12) Each team will still play three group matches.[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-13)[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-14) The final matchday at club level for players named in the final squads is May 24, 2026; clubs have to release their players by May 25, with exceptions granted to players participating in continental club competition finals up until May 30. The 56 days of the combined rest, release, and tournament periods remain identical to the [2010](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_FIFA_World_Cup "2010 FIFA World Cup"), 2014 and 2018 tournaments.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-IMC-10)
Previous expansion formats
The expansion to 48 teams had already been approved on January 10, 2017, when it was decided that the tournament would include 16 groups of 3 teams, and 80 matches in total, with the top two teams of each group progressing to a round of 32.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-48teams-9)[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-15) Under this later-superseded format, the maximum number of games per team would have remained at seven, but each team would have played one fewer group match than before. The tournament would still have been completed within 32 days.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-16) This format was chosen over three other proposals, ranging from 40 to 48 teams, from 76 to 88 matches, and from one to four minimum matches per team.[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-heraldlive-17)[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-yahoo-18)[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-19)
Critics of this format argued that the use of three-team groups with two teams progressing significantly increased the risk of collusion between teams.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-guyon-20) This prompted [FIFA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA "FIFA") to suggest that [penalty shootouts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penalty_shoot-out_\(association_football\) "Penalty shoot-out (association football)") may be used to prevent draws in the group stage,[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-21) although even then some risk of collusion would remain, and a possibility would emerge of teams deliberately losing shootouts to eliminate a rival.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-guyon-20) To address these concerns, FIFA continued considering alternative formats[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-22) â a process that ended with the 2023 announcement that the format would be 12 groups of 4 teams.
Host selection
The [FIFA Council](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_Council "FIFA Council") went back and forth between 2013 and 2017 on limitations within hosting rotation based on the continental confederations. Originally, it was set that bids to be host would not be allowed from countries belonging to confederations that hosted the two preceding tournaments. It was temporarily changed to only prohibit countries belonging to the confederation that hosted the previous World Cup from bidding to host the following tournament,[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-23) before the rule was changed back to its prior state of two World Cups.
The FIFA Council made an exception to potentially grant eligibility to member associations of the confederation of the second-to-last host of the FIFA World Cup in the event that none of the received bids fulfill the strict technical and financial requirements.[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-fifacouncil-24)[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-ap-cbc-25) In March 2017, FIFA president [Gianni Infantino](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gianni_Infantino "Gianni Infantino") confirmed that "Europe ([UEFA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA "UEFA")) and Asia ([AFC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Football_Confederation "Asian Football Confederation")) are excluded from the bidding following the selection of [Russia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup "2018 FIFA World Cup") and [Qatar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup "2022 FIFA World Cup") in 2018 and 2022 respectively."[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-guardian-26) Therefore, the 2026 World Cup could be hosted by one of the remaining four confederations: [CONCACAF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CONCACAF "CONCACAF") (North America; last hosted in [1994](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_FIFA_World_Cup "1994 FIFA World Cup")), [CAF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confederation_of_African_Football "Confederation of African Football") (Africa; last hosted in [2010](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_FIFA_World_Cup "2010 FIFA World Cup")), [CONMEBOL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CONMEBOL "CONMEBOL") (South America; last hosted in [2014](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_FIFA_World_Cup "2014 FIFA World Cup")), or [OFC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania_Football_Confederation "Oceania Football Confederation") (Oceania, never hosted before), or potentially by UEFA in case no bid from those four met the requirements.
Co-hosting the FIFA World Cupâwhich had been banned by FIFA after the [2002 World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_FIFA_World_Cup "2002 FIFA World Cup")âwas approved for the 2026 World Cup, though not limited to a specific number but instead evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Also for 2026, the FIFA general secretariat, after consultation with the Competitions Committee, had the power to exclude bidders who did not meet the minimum technical requirements to host the competition.[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-fifacouncil-24)
Canada, Mexico, and the United States had each publicly considered bidding for the tournament separately, but the United joint bid was announced on April 10, 2017.[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-27)[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-:3-28) In March 2022, [Liga MX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liga_MX "Liga MX") president [Mikel Arriola](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikel_Arriola "Mikel Arriola") claimed Mexico's involvement as cohost could have been at risk if the league and the federation had not responded quickly to the [QuerĂŠtaroâAtlas riot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quer%C3%A9taro%E2%80%93Atlas_riot "QuerĂŠtaroâAtlas riot") between rival fans that left 26 spectators injured and resulted in 14 arrests. Arriola said FIFA was "shocked" by the incident but Infantino was satisfied with the sanctions handed down against QuerĂŠtaro.[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-29)

- [Italy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy_national_football_team "Italy national football team") missed out after being defeated in the European playoff final by [Bosnia and Herzegovina](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnia_and_Herzegovina_national_football_team "Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team"), becoming the first former champions to miss out on three consecutive World Cups.[\[70\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-72) Like in 2018 and 2022, Italy was the only former champion that did not qualify.
- [Cameroon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameroon_national_football_team "Cameroon national football team"), [Costa Rica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costa_Rica_national_football_team "Costa Rica national football team"), [Denmark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark_national_football_team "Denmark national football team"), [Poland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poland_national_football_team "Poland national football team"), [Serbia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbia_national_football_team "Serbia national football team"), and [Wales](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wales_national_football_team "Wales national football team"), all of whom qualified for the [2022 World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup "2022 FIFA World Cup"), did not qualify for the 2026 tournament.
The teams that qualified, sorted by region:
Draw
The draw took place on December 5, 2025, at the [Kennedy Center](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy_Center "Kennedy Center") in [Washington, D.C.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C. "Washington, D.C.")[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-81) The 48 teams were divided into four pots of 12. Pot 1 consisted of the three hosts and the top nine teams from the November 2025 [FIFA Men's World Ranking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_Men%27s_World_Ranking "FIFA Men's World Ranking"). Pots 2, 3, and 4 consisted of the remaining teams according to the ranking. The four winners of the [UEFA playoffs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_UEFA_second_round "2026 FIFA World Cup qualification â UEFA second round") and the two winners of the [inter-confederation playoffs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_\(inter-confederation_play-offs\) "2026 FIFA World Cup qualification (inter-confederation play-offs)") were not known at the time of the draw and thus were automatically allocated to Pot 4. The 12 groups were randomly formed by selecting one team from each of the four pots. FIFA's "general principle, whenever possible", was that no group had more than one team from the same confederation drawn into it.[\[72\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-82)[\[73\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-83) This principle was applicable to all confederations except UEFA; each group was required to have either one or two UEFA teams drawn into it.
The three host nations were pre-allocated to three groups for scheduling purposes. Mexico was placed in Group A and will play the opening match of the tournament at Estadio Azteca on June 11. Canada and the United States were placed in Groups B and D, respectively. They will play the third and fourth matches of the tournament, respectively, both on June 12.[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Schedule-1)[\[74\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-84)
The confederation restriction applied to all three potential winners of the inter-confederation playoffs. FIFA also announced that, "in the interest of ensuring competitive balance", two separate pathways to the semifinals (sides of the knockout bracket) were established. Based on this, the teams ranked first (Spain) and second (Argentina) in the ranking were randomly drawn into groups in opposite pathways, as were the teams ranked third (France) and fourth (England). Therefore, should these pairs of teams win their groups, they will be unable to meet until the final, while all four will be unable to meet until the semifinals.[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-85) The draw started with Pot 1 and ended with Pot 4, with each team selected then allocated into the first available group alphabetically. For the purpose of the match schedule, the Pot 1 teams were automatically drawn into position 1 of each group. For the remaining pots, FIFA established a predetermined pattern to define the position of teams based on their pot and the group they were drawn into.

Group stage
| Tie-breaking criteria for group stage ranking |
|---|
| The ranking of teams in each group is determined by the points obtained in all group matches. If two or more teams are equal on points, the following criteria are used to determine the ranking:[\[124\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-regulations-147) Most points obtained in the group matches played between the teams concerned; Superior goal difference in the group matches played between the teams concerned; Most goals scored in the group matches played between the teams concerned; If, after having applied criteria a to c, teams still had an equal ranking, criteria a to c are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the teams who are still level to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria d to h apply. Superior goal difference in all group matches; Most goals scored in all group matches; Highest team conduct ("fair play") score in all group matches (only one deduction can be applied to a player or team coach/official in a single match): Yellow card: â1 point; Indirect red card (second yellow card): â3 points; Direct red card: â4 points; Yellow card and direct red card: â5 points; Better position in the most recent [FIFA Men's World Ranking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_Men%27s_World_Ranking "FIFA Men's World Ranking"); Better position in progressively older FIFA Men's World Rankings until teams can be separated. |
Prior to the final draw, stadiums were assigned to specific groups.[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Schedule-1) Following the final draw, pairings were allocated to specific matches, and the kickoff times were confirmed.[\[117\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Q&A-140)[\[125\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-148)

Statistics
Discipline
A player or team official is automatically suspended for the next match for the following offenses:[\[124\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-regulations-147)
- Receiving a red card (red card suspensions may be extended for serious offenses)
- Receiving two yellow cards in two matches;[\[X\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-149) yellow cards expire after the completion of the quarterfinals (yellow card suspensions are not carried forward to any other future international matches)
Only pending red card suspensions from qualification will be carried forward to the final tournament.[\[124\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-regulations-147)
During qualification, [Cristiano Ronaldo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristiano_Ronaldo "Cristiano Ronaldo") was sent off for violent conduct in Portugal's penultimate match, with such an offense typically resulting in a ban of at least two matches. Ronaldo was handed a three-match ban, though the final two matches of the ban were suspended for a one-year probationary period, making him eligible to appear in Portugal's opening World Cup match.[\[126\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-150)
The following suspensions will be served during the tournament:

The official emblem and brand identity was unveiled on May 17, 2023, at the [Griffith Observatory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griffith_Observatory "Griffith Observatory") in [Los Angeles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles "Los Angeles"), [California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California "California"); its basic form consists of a stacked "26" with an image of the [FIFA World Cup Trophy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy "FIFA World Cup Trophy") in front of it (marking the first time that the trophy has been depicted in a World Cup emblem as a photo, as opposed to a stylized representation), but it is designed to be adaptable to different backdrops.[\[129\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-153)[\[130\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-:0-154) The next day, FIFA unveiled variants of the emblem for each of the host cities, which feature color variants and designs that reflect local landscapes or culture (with the Los Angeles emblem featuring a stylized sun and wave, the Monterrey emblem featuring imagery of the [Cerro de la Silla](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerro_de_la_Silla "Cerro de la Silla") mountain, and Toronto featuring the city skyline and the [CN Tower](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CN_Tower "CN Tower")).[\[131\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-155)[\[132\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-156)
Reaction to the logo from the initial unveiling was largely negative, with many feeling that the design was either unfinished or uncreative compared to the emblems of past FIFA World Cup tournaments. By contrast, [United States national team](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_men%27s_national_soccer_team "United States men's national soccer team") player [JesĂşs Ferreira](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jes%C3%BAs_Ferreira "JesĂşs Ferreira") described the emblem as "beautiful".[\[133\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-157)[\[130\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-:0-154)[\[134\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-158)
Posters
In April 2025, FIFA unveiled a set of 16 posters representing each of the 2026 World Cup host cities. Each poster has been a vibrant celebration of local culture, landmarks, and soccer spirit, capturing the unique identity of every host city in this tournament.[\[135\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Official_posters-159)[\[136\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-160)

Official poster
On March 3, 2026, the official poster was unveiled. For the first time, three artists combined their skills and artistic styles to create the official poster: Carson Ting (Canada), Minerva GM (Mexico), and Hank Willis Thomas (United States).[\[135\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Official_posters-159)
Broadcasting rights
On February 12, 2015, FIFA renewed the United States and Canadian broadcasting rights contracts for [Fox](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_Sports_\(United_States\) "Fox Sports (United States)") (U.S. English), [NBCUniversal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telemundo_Deportes "Telemundo Deportes") (U.S. Spanish), and [Bell Media](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Media "Bell Media") (Canada) to cover the 2026 World Cup, without accepting any other bids. A report in *[The New York Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times "The New York Times")* asserted that this extension was intended as compensation for the rescheduling of the [2022 World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup "2022 FIFA World Cup") to NovemberâDecember rather than its traditional JuneâJuly scheduling, as it created considerable conflicts with [major professional sports leagues](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_professional_sports_leagues_in_the_United_States_and_Canada "Major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada") that are normally in their offseasons during the World Cup.[\[137\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-161)[\[138\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-162)[\[139\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-cangloberights-163)
[FĂştbol de Primera](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%BAtbol_de_Primera_\(radio_network\) "FĂştbol de Primera (radio network)") has the Spanish radio broadcasting rights in the United States and Puerto Rico.[\[140\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-:03-164)
The [International Broadcast Center](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Broadcast_Centre "International Broadcast Centre") (IBC) will be located at the [Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kay_Bailey_Hutchison_Convention_Center "Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center") in [Dallas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas "Dallas").[\[141\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-165)[\[142\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-166)[\[143\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-167)
On January 8, 2026, FIFA signed a deal to make [TikTok](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TikTok "TikTok") a "preferred platform" for World Cup video content. As part of the agreement, broadcasters may stream parts of games at a dedicated hub on the TikTok app.[\[144\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-168) FIFA then made a similar "preferred platform" deal with [YouTube](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube "YouTube") on March 17, allowing broadcasters to stream select games in full on their respective YouTube channels, as well as stream the first 10 minutes of every game on the platform as "an appetizer encouraging young fans then to watch on traditional channels".[\[145\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-169) It was later confirmed that YouTube had extended this deal with FIFA and [CazĂŠTV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caz%C3%A9TV "CazĂŠTV") to show all tournament games for free in Brazil.[\[146\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-170)[\[147\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-171)

A second phase ran from October 27â31, and a third phase started after the final draw of teams on December 5. Sales are capped at four tickets per person per match, and no person is able to purchase more than 40 tickets for the overall tournament. FIFA is also expected to launch an official resale platform.[\[208\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-:1-232)

Awards
FIFA Peace Prize
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:P202512005DT-0500_President_Donald_Trump_participates_in_the_FIFA_World_Cup_drawing.jpg)
Donald Trump receives a certificate as the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize winner in December 2025 from Gianni Infantino for an "unwavering commitment to advancing peace and unity".
The FIFA Peace Prize is an international award presented by [FIFA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA "FIFA"). Established in 2025, its stated aim is to honor individuals whose actions FIFA characterizes as exceptional contributions to peace and unity, reflecting its campaign slogan "Football Unites the World".[\[221\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-FIFA-announcement-245)[\[222\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-HT-246) According to FIFA, the purpose of the prize is to "reward individuals who have taken exceptional and extraordinary actions for peace and by doing so have united people across the world".[\[221\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-FIFA-announcement-245)
The FIFA Peace Prize was awarded on December 5, 2025, to United States president [Donald Trump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump "Donald Trump") during the draw for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, held at the [Kennedy Center](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy_Center "Kennedy Center") in [Washington, D.C.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C. "Washington, D.C.").[\[223\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Guardian-main-247)[\[224\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-AP-248)[\[225\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-SkyNews-249) FIFA stated that the award recognized his "involvement in ceasefire efforts and diplomatic engagements in several conflicts".[\[221\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-FIFA-announcement-245)[\[226\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Dawn-250)[\[227\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-RNZ-251)
The creation of the prize and the choice of Trump as its first recipient generated widespread scrutiny and controversy. Human rights groups, analysts and football stakeholders questioned the transparency of the selection process, the suitability of the inaugural laureate, and the implications both for FIFA's claims of political neutrality and its human rights commitments.[\[228\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-AJ-Analysis-252)[\[229\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Amnesty-253)[\[230\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-NewHumanitarian-254)[\[231\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-255)
Selection process
FIFA stated that the Peace Prize would be awarded on the recommendation of an independent committee. However, as of the first award, the organization had not disclosed detailed nomination procedures or evaluation criteria.[\[224\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-AP-248)[\[222\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-HT-246) FIFA had also not made clear the manner by which the recipient was selected or the exact form the prize would take.[\[232\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-256)
According to *[The New York Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times "The New York Times")*, the prize was not discussed at the [FIFA Council](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_Council "FIFA Council") or with FIFA vice presidents, none of whom had input into the selection criteria, prior to its creation in October 2025.[\[233\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-crafton-257) The process behind the award was not made public: there were no nominations announced and no formal selection criteria given.[\[233\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-crafton-257)[\[234\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-bedigan-258) Human rights groups, including [Human Rights Watch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Rights_Watch "Human Rights Watch"), criticized the lack of transparency, reporting that queries about nominees, judges, and criteria remained unanswered.[\[235\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-HRW-259)[\[229\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Amnesty-253)[\[236\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-SportDev-260)
Investigations by *The Guardian* and other outlets identified [Zaw Zaw](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaw_Zaw "Zaw Zaw"), a Myanmar businessman and long-serving president of the [Myanmar Football Federation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myanmar_Football_Federation "Myanmar Football Federation"), as chair of the selection committee.[\[237\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Guardian-ZawZaw-261)[\[238\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-SportsCrime-262) Critics highlighted his ties to Myanmar's former military junta and to human rights abuses against the [Rohingya people](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohingya_people "Rohingya people"), raising concerns about the credibility of a peace award under his oversight.[\[237\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-Guardian-ZawZaw-261)[\[238\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-SportsCrime-262)[\[235\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-HRW-259)
Prize money
In December 2025, FIFA announced the prizes for all participating nations. This edition's total prize pool will be \$655 million, \$215 million greater than the prize pool of the [previous tournament](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup "2022 FIFA World Cup"). Each qualified team will also receive an additional \$1.5 million before the competition to cover preparation costs, thus guaranteed a minimum \$10.5 million total in prize money.[\[239\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-263)[\[240\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-264)

Concerns
Climate concerns
In January 2025, [Queen's University Belfast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen%27s_University_Belfast "Queen's University Belfast") warned about potential heat risks for most of the host cities and urged FIFA to schedule match kickoffs later into the afternoon or evening, stating that the [wet-bulb globe temperature](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_globe_temperature "Wet-bulb globe temperature") in certain host cities was higher than that of Qatar in the winter.[\[241\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-265) During the [2025 FIFA Club World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_FIFA_Club_World_Cup "2025 FIFA Club World Cup"), which was also hosted in the United States, several matches reported high temperatures ranging from 90 to 102 °F (32 to 39 °C) and weather delays.[\[242\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-266)[\[243\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-267) In December 2025, FIFA announced that all matches at the 2026 World Cup would include a mandatory three-minute hydration break in each half to allow players to rest in hot conditions.[\[244\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-268) The three-minute period would also be available for commercials at the discretion of tournament broadcasters.[\[245\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-269)
Concerns have also been raised by climate activists about the environmental impact of both the expansion to 48 teams as well as traveling between host cities, most of which will require extensive air travel and increase carbon emissions, a counter to one of FIFA's goals on sustainability.[\[246\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-270) A report by [Scientists for Global Responsibility](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientists_for_Global_Responsibility "Scientists for Global Responsibility") in July 2025 calculated that the amount of greenhouse gas emissions for the tournament would make it one of the most polluting events in the world as it would be almost double the average for the last four tournaments (2022 reportedly had 5.25 million metric tons \[5.79 million short tons\]), roughly the same amount as 6.5 million cars driven for a year.[\[247\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-271)
Immigration policy concerns under the Trump administration
During the bidding process, President [Donald Trump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump "Donald Trump")'s [executive orders regarding immigration from certain Muslim-majority countries in 2017](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_travel_ban "Trump travel ban") implemented during his [first term](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_presidency_of_Donald_Trump "First presidency of Donald Trump") were touted as a potential risk. Infantino stated, "any team, including the supporters and officials of that team, who qualify for a World Cup need to have access to the country, otherwise there is no World Cup."[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-guardian-26) In response, the Trump administration sent letters to FIFA that read, in part, that Trump was "confident" that "all eligible athletes, officials and fans from all countries around the world would be able to enter the United States without discrimination."[\[248\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-272)
Concerns around the staging of the tournament were also raised during the first meeting of the [FIFA World Cup Task Force](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_2026_Task_Force "FIFA World Cup 2026 Task Force") due to the [immigration policy of the second Donald Trump administration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_policy_of_the_second_Donald_Trump_administration "Immigration policy of the second Donald Trump administration"). In response, Vice President [JD Vance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JD_Vance "JD Vance") said, "Of course, everybody is welcome to come and see this incredible event, but when the time is up, they'll have to go home. Otherwise, they'll have to talk to [Secretary Noem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristi_Noem "Kristi Noem")."[\[249\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-273)
On June 11, 2025, the Sports & Rights Alliance, [Human Rights Watch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Rights_Watch "Human Rights Watch"), and [Amnesty International](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amnesty_International "Amnesty International") called on FIFA to ensure that [human rights in the United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_the_United_States "Human rights in the United States") were upheld during the tournament, especially in light of the use of force during the [anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_2025_Los_Angeles_protests_against_mass_deportation "June 2025 Los Angeles protests against mass deportation") where journalists and protesters were attacked by local police.[\[250\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-sportsright-274)[\[251\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-275)[\[252\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-bbc_live-276) Following the killings of civilians [RenĂŠe Good](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Ren%C3%A9e_Good "Killing of RenĂŠe Good") and [Alex Pretti](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Alex_Pretti "Killing of Alex Pretti") by federal agents during [immigration enforcement operations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Metro_Surge "Operation Metro Surge") in the [MinneapolisâSaint Paul](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minneapolis%E2%80%93Saint_Paul "MinneapolisâSaint Paul") area in January 2026, fan group [Football Supporters Europe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_Supporters_Europe "Football Supporters Europe") stated that it was "extremely concerned by the ongoing militarisation of police forces in the US."[\[253\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-277)
2025 travel ban and exemptions
In June 2025, the [second Trump administration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_presidency_of_Donald_Trump "Second presidency of Donald Trump") reinstated a [travel ban](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proclamation_10949 "Proclamation 10949") affecting citizens from multiple countries, citing national security concerns.[\[254\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-278) The ban, which was later expanded in December, prohibits the issuance of new immigrant and [non-immigrant visas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travel_visa "Travel visa") for citizens of 39 affected countries, including those whose teams have qualified for the World Cupâ[Haiti](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiti "Haiti"), [Iran](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran "Iran"), [Ivory Coast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivory_Coast "Ivory Coast"), and [Senegal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senegal "Senegal"). The proclamation includes an exemption for any athlete or member of an athletic team, including coaches, persons performing a necessary support role, and immediate relatives, traveling for the World Cup, [Olympics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_Games "Olympic Games"), or other major sporting events as determined by the [Secretary of State](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_State "United States Secretary of State").[\[255\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-279)[\[256\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-280)
This exemption ensured that national teams' players, coaches, and staff of those designated countries would be permitted to enter the United States for the competition, but the [U.S. State Department](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_State "United States Department of State") confirmed that ordinary citizens of the four countries were not covered by this exemption, making them ineligible for visa issuance to attend the matches. While fans were permitted to submit visa applications with the promise of priority if they provided proof of tickets, the department noted that issuance would be unlikely, barring rare "national interest" waivers. However, this restriction can be circumvented if a fan is a valid visa holder, a permanent resident, or a [dual national](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_citizenship "Multiple citizenship") who applies using a passport not subject to the ban. In such cases, applicants may still be eligible to enter or apply for entry, provided they satisfy all other immigration and security requirements.[\[257\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-281)[\[258\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-282)[\[259\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-283)
Iran's participation
On November 27, 2025, the [Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_Federation_Islamic_Republic_of_Iran "Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran") (FFIRI) said it would boycott the December 5 World Cup draw after its president, [Mehdi Taj](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehdi_Taj "Mehdi Taj"), was denied a visa to enter the United States. Four other delegation members, including head coach [Amir Ghalenoei](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amir_Ghalenoei "Amir Ghalenoei"), were approved. An FFIRI spokesperson told state media the United States' decision was "unrelated to sport" and said the federation quickly raised the issue with FIFA President [Gianni Infantino](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gianni_Infantino "Gianni Infantino").[\[260\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-284) However, on December 3, the FFIRI reversed its decision and announced that it would send representatives to the draw, with head coach Ghalenoei serving as the technical representative of the national football team.[\[261\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-285)
Protests and massacres in Iran
In January 2026, multiple Iranian soccer players and athletes were killed during the [2026 Iran massacres](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_massacres "2026 Iran massacres") amid [protests](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025%E2%80%932026_Iranian_protests "2025â2026 Iranian protests"), including former [Tractor Sazi F.C.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractor_Sazi_F.C. "Tractor Sazi F.C.") midfielder [Mojtaba Tarshiz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojtaba_Tarshiz "Mojtaba Tarshiz"), prompting former [Iran national team](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_national_football_team "Iran national football team") captain [Masoud Shojaei](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masoud_Shojaei "Masoud Shojaei") to criticize FIFA for its silence over the killing of Iranian athletes during protests, while then-captain [Mehdi Taremi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehdi_Taremi "Mehdi Taremi") expressed solidarity with the Iranian people.[\[262\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-286)[\[263\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-287)[\[264\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-288)[\[265\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-sport-thousands-killed-289) [Ali Karimi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Karimi "Ali Karimi"), a former player for the Iran national team, along with a coalition of prominent Iranians, wrote an open letter to FIFA and all its member associations, calling on Infantino to speak up on the protest deaths.[\[266\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-290) Following the massacres, activists and former Iranian wrestling coach [Sardar Pashaei](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardar_Pashaei "Sardar Pashaei") called on FIFA and the [International Olympic Committee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Olympic_Committee "International Olympic Committee") to ban the Iranian teams from the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the [2026 Winter Olympics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_at_the_2026_Winter_Olympics "Iran at the 2026 Winter Olympics").[\[267\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-291)
Iran war
Further complications regarding Iran's participation occurred as a result of the [2026 IranâUnited States crisis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prelude_to_the_2026_Iran_war "Prelude to the 2026 Iran war") in February 2026, which resulted in the [United States and Israel launching missiles at Iran](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_war "2026 Iran war"). In retaliation, Iran launched missiles at Israel and [Persian Gulf Arab states](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_states_of_the_Persian_Gulf "Arab states of the Persian Gulf"), as well as additional spillover missile strikes in Jordan. FIFA stated that it was monitoring the situation and was focused on getting all countries to participate, despite reports saying Iran may not participate.[\[268\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-292)[\[269\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-293)[\[270\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-294)
According to *[The Guardian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardian "The Guardian")*, if Iran were to withdraw, intercontinental playoff participant [Iraq](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_national_football_team "Iraq national football team") or the [United Arab Emirates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Arab_Emirates_national_football_team "United Arab Emirates national football team"), the last [Asian Football Confederation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Football_Confederation "Asian Football Confederation") team to be [eliminated from the qualifiers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_AFC_fifth_round "2026 FIFA World Cup qualification â AFC fifth round"), could be likely beneficiaries to replace it in [Group G](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup_Group_G "2026 FIFA World Cup Group G").[\[271\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-295)[\[272\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-296) FIFA has warned that Iran could face fines and a ban from future competitions should it withdraw from the tournament.[\[273\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-297) However, on March 10, Iran hinted that it may do so due to the risk of defections from players, similar to the [women's team](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defection_of_Iran_women%27s_national_football_team "Defection of Iran women's national football team") during the [2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_AFC_Women%27s_Asian_Cup "2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup") in Australia.[\[274\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-298)
Following a meeting with U.S. President Trump on March 10, Infantino said that Trump had reiterated that the Iranian team "is, of course, welcome to compete in the tournament in the United States".[\[275\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-299) In a post on [Truth Social](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth_Social "Truth Social"), Trump later added that, while the team is welcome, it would "\[not be\] appropriate that they be there, for their own life and safety".[\[276\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-300) In response, Iran asked for FIFA to remove the United States as tournament hosts, referring to Trump's statement that the Iranian team's safety could not be guaranteed.[\[277\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-301)[\[278\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-goal.com_13Mar2026-302)
On March 11, Iran's [Minister of Sport and Youth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Sport_and_Youth_\(Iran\) "Ministry of Sport and Youth (Iran)"), [Ahmad Donyamali](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmad_Donyamali "Ahmad Donyamali"), reportedly ruled out participation in the World Cup in an interview with [Deutsche Presse-Agentur](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Presse-Agentur "Deutsche Presse-Agentur"), citing the [assassination of Ali Khamenei](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Ali_Khamenei "Assassination of Ali Khamenei"), and later told [Iranian state television](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Republic_of_Iran_Broadcasting "Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting") that "under âno circumstances âcan we â participate in the World Cup", though the team's withdrawal has not been confirmed by FIFA.[\[279\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-303)[\[280\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-304)
On March 17, it was reported that FFIRI was negotiating with FIFA to move Iran's scheduled matches from the United States to Mexico, again citing Trump's statement that the Iranian team's safety could not be guaranteed.[\[281\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-CNNIranMX-305) However, FIFA denied Iran's request to move its matches and said that the schedule will go ahead as planned.[\[282\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-306)
That same day, the [Asian Football Confederation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Football_Confederation "Asian Football Confederation") stated that it had not received any formal notification from Iran regarding an intention to withdraw from the tournament. Speaking to reporters in [Kuala Lumpur](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuala_Lumpur "Kuala Lumpur"), [Malaysia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia "Malaysia"), General Secretary [Windsor John](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windsor_John "Windsor John") said that the final decision rests with FFIRI, adding that "the federation has informed us that they are going to the World Cup." He also expressed hope that Iran would resolve its internal issues and participate, noting that the team was among the first Asian teams to secure qualification, having done so in March 2025.[\[281\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-CNNIranMX-305)
On March 27, ahead of a scheduled [AFC Champions League Elite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFC_Champions_League_Elite "AFC Champions League Elite") match, state media reported that Iran's Ministry of Sport and Youth had banned its sports teams from traveling to countries it considers "hostile", but it did not explicitly mention the World Cup.[\[283\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-307)
The Group G host cities, which include [Los Angeles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles "Los Angeles") and [Seattle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle "Seattle"), as well as Iran's base camp city [Tucson, Arizona](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucson,_Arizona "Tucson, Arizona"), reportedly fear increased security risks.[\[278\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-goal.com_13Mar2026-302)
Impact on Iraq
The war also significantly impacted Iraq's logistical preparations for the interconfederation playoffs, needing to win just one match to qualify for the World Cup. Following the closure of Iraqi airspace and the suspension of international flights, the Mexican [Secretariat of Foreign Affairs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretariat_of_Foreign_Affairs_\(Mexico\) "Secretariat of Foreign Affairs (Mexico)") intervened to grant entry visas for the national team through diplomatic channels in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, since Mexico does not have an embassy in Iraq.[\[284\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-308) However, despite the issuance of visas, over 60% of the domestic-based squad remained stranded in Baghdad, and a scheduled training camp in Houston before the playoffs was canceled.[\[285\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-WST-309)[\[286\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-FSAU-310) Head coach [Graham Arnold](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Arnold "Graham Arnold") was forced to manage team operations remotely from the United Arab Emirates, as the delegation was unable to secure safe passage out of the conflict zone during the initial weeks of the war.[\[287\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-SSSA-311)
The [Iraq Football Association](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_Football_Association "Iraq Football Association") (IFA) formally petitioned FIFA to postpone the playoff match, citing the impossibility of safe transit for the players and staff.[\[285\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-WST-309) FIFA denied the request, citing the rigidity of the [FIFA International Match Calendar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_International_Match_Calendar "FIFA International Match Calendar"), and instead proposed an alternative overland route through Turkey to Istanbul.[\[286\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-FSAU-310) This proposal was rejected by IFA and Arnold due to security concerns regarding [repeated Iranian strikes in the Kurdistan region](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iranian_strikes_on_the_Kurdistan_Region "2026 Iranian strikes on the Kurdistan Region").[\[287\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-SSSA-311) Amidst these travel complications, the Mexican government maintained its commitment to the team's participation, working directly with the Iraqi Embassy in Mexico to finalize all documentation. On March 16, it was confirmed that FIFA would provide a chartered private jet to transport the Iraqi team to Mexico.[\[288\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-312) The original plan was for the team to fly on March 20 from the [Arar Domestic Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arar_Domestic_Airport "Arar Domestic Airport") in Saudi Arabia, near the [Iraqi border](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq%E2%80%93Saudi_Arabia_border "IraqâSaudi Arabia border"), and arrive in Monterrey the next day, 10 days before the match.[\[289\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-313) However, further airspace closures in the area forced the group of players and staff based in Iraq to travel overland to Jordan where they departed on a charter flight from [Queen Alia International Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Alia_International_Airport "Queen Alia International Airport") in [Amman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amman "Amman") on March 21. After a technical layover in [Lisbon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisbon "Lisbon"), they arrived in Monterrey minutes after midnight.[\[290\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-314)[\[291\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-315)
Pride Match (Egypt vs. Iran)
A "[Pride](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_\(LGBTQ_culture\) "Pride (LGBTQ culture)") Match" was planned in advance to take place in Seattle, organized by the local committee to tie into the [local celebration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_Pride "Seattle Pride") and without endorsement by FIFA. After the draw and release of the schedule, it was determined that this match would feature Egypt and Iran, two countries where homosexuality is [punishable by law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBTQ_rights_by_country_or_territory "LGBTQ rights by country or territory").[\[292\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-316) Seattle's Pride Match Advisory Committee spokesperson said "The Pride Match has been scheduled to celebrate and elevate Pride events in Seattle and across the country and it was planned well in advance".[\[293\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-317) [Iranian Football Federation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_Federation_Islamic_Republic_of_Iran "Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran") President [Mehdi Taj](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehdi_Taj "Mehdi Taj") said both countries had "objections" and that the branding was an "irrational move that supports a certain group." Iran was planning to appeal the decision.[\[294\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-318) The [Egyptian Football Association](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Football_Association "Egyptian Football Association") also sent a formal letter to FIFA Secretary General [Mattias GrafstrĂśm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mattias_Grafstr%C3%B6m "Mattias GrafstrĂśm") rejecting "in absolute terms" LGBTQ connections to the game.[\[295\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-319)
Human rights and security concerns in Mexico
Labor rights
In March 2025, the trade union [Building and Wood Workers' International](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_and_Wood_Workers%27_International "Building and Wood Workers' International") (BWI) accused FIFA of blocking a planned labor inspection at Mexico City's [Estadio Azteca](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estadio_Azteca "Estadio Azteca"), which is undergoing renovations in preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. According to BWI, FIFA's intervention prevented inspectors from evaluating working conditions at the site, raising concerns about potential labor rights violations similar to [alleged instances of slave labor at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup#Migrant_workers "2022 FIFA World Cup").[\[296\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-320)
Unrest in Jalisco
Following the [capture and death](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Jalisco_operation "2026 Jalisco operation") of [Jalisco New Generation Cartel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jalisco_New_Generation_Cartel "Jalisco New Generation Cartel") (CJNG) leader [Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera Cervantes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Mencho "El Mencho") in [Tapalpa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapalpa "Tapalpa") on February 22, 2026, [retaliatory violence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Mexico_cartel_unrest "2026 Mexico cartel unrest") was launched by CJNG members across the state of [Jalisco](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jalisco "Jalisco") and various other Mexican states which involved shootouts, explosions, and blocking roads using burnt vehicles as well as setting fire to various businesses, raising concerns about security during games played in [Guadalajara](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guadalajara "Guadalajara"), Jalisco's largest city. Despite this, FIFA officials have no intentions to move any games and the Mexican government has reassured visitors that security would be guaranteed for visitors.[\[297\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-321)[\[298\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-322) In March 2026, Mexico announced that 100,000 troops would be deployed for security during the tournament.[\[299\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-323)
Impact of final game halftime show
On September 28, 2024, FIFA announced that [Global Citizen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Citizen_\(organization\) "Global Citizen (organization)"), an international advocacy organization, would co-produce a [halftime show](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halftime_show "Halftime show") for the [final game](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup_final "2026 FIFA World Cup final") at [MetLife Stadium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MetLife_Stadium "MetLife Stadium"), the first halftime show in the history of the World Cup.[\[300\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-324) The show is intended to copy the format of the [Super Bowl halftime show](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_halftime_show "Super Bowl halftime show"), featuring a well-known musical performer to increase the tournament's commercial appeal in the market.
The show has generated debate in the global soccer community. Supporters argue that the event modernizes the World Cup and provides a platform for global cultural exchange and revenue growth. However, critics, players, media, unions, and traditionalist fan groups have criticized what they view as the "[Americanization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americanization "Americanization")" of soccer. Primary objections focus on the potential extension of the traditional 15-minute halftime interval, which generated an argument that it will disrupt player recovery, interfere with technical coaching adjustments, and break the natural flow of the game.[\[301\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-325)[\[302\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-326)
Decentralized host committees in the United States
Unlike previous World Cups where there was a centralized organizing committee, each of the 11 U.S. host cities have set up their own individual host committees, with independent deals with FIFA. As a result, most of the financial and legal responsibilities have shifted from a national level to a local one, including the majority of those for infrastructure improvements, public safety and security, and transportation.[\[303\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-NYTFeb26-327)[\[304\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-NESNFeb26-328)
In February 2026, the [Select Board of Foxborough](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxborough,_Massachusetts#Government "Foxborough, Massachusetts") refused to grant the entertainment license to hold games at [Gillette Stadium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gillette_Stadium "Gillette Stadium"), stating that they still needed \$7.8 million upfront in security funding, which is too heavy of a burden for a community with a population of about 18,000 to pay now and wait to be reimbursed later.[\[303\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-NYTFeb26-327)[\[305\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-NBCBostonFeb17-329) While the federal government had earmarked a total of \$625 million for security in the 11 U.S. host cities, it remained unclear how much Foxborough's share would be and when it would receive it.[\[306\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-330) In addition, while the local Boston host committee is responsible for most of the public safety costs, they were still waiting on federal grant funding.[\[304\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-NESNFeb26-328) The town board had set a deadline of March 17 for the funding issue to be resolved, which was accomplished when [Robert Kraft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kraft "Robert Kraft") agreed five days before the deadline that [his company](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraft_Group "Kraft Group") would pay the bill.[\[305\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-NBCBostonFeb17-329)[\[307\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-331)
Various cities have also had issues regarding the planning of the [FIFA Fan Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_Fan_Festival "FIFA Fan Festival"), which has resulted in plans for large central fan festivals, typically seen at the tournament, either being cancelled and replaced with smaller community focused festivals or scaled down due to high costs in [New York/New Jersey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_metropolitan_area "New York metropolitan area"), [Miami](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami "Miami"), and [Seattle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle "Seattle").[\[308\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-332)[\[309\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-333)[\[310\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_note-334)

1. **[^](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_ref-60)** Curaçao is the smallest country by area and the least populous to qualify for the World Cup. Excluding teams from the [United Kingdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom "United Kingdom"), Curaçao is also the first team representing a non-sovereign nation to qualify for the World Cup since the Dutch East Indies (currently [Indonesia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesia_at_the_FIFA_World_Cup "Indonesia at the FIFA World Cup")) in [1938](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1938_FIFA_World_Cup "1938 FIFA World Cup").
2. **[^](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup#cite_ref-62)** Until 1991, Uzbekistan was part of the [Soviet Union](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union_national_football_team "Soviet Union national football team"), which competed at seven World Cup tournaments. Following the [dissolution of the Soviet Union](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissolution_of_the_Soviet_Union "Dissolution of the Soviet Union"), Uzbekistan will become the third former Soviet republic to compete as an independent nation after [Russia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia_national_football_team "Russia national football team") ([1994](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_FIFA_World_Cup "1994 FIFA World Cup"), [2002](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_FIFA_World_Cup "2002 FIFA World Cup"), [2014](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_FIFA_World_Cup "2014 FIFA World Cup") and [2018](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup "2018 FIFA World Cup")) and [Ukraine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine_national_football_team "Ukraine national football team") ([2006](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_FIFA_World_Cup "2006 FIFA World Cup")).
