2026 FIFA WORLD CUP
The world's biggest tournament returns to NORTH AMERICA, as its three major nations join forces to host the most ambitious World Cup yet.
For the first time ever, the tournament will see 48 contenders, 16 more than previous editions. Among them are newcomers from UZBEKISTAN, JORDAN, CABO VERDE, and CURAÇAO.
16 cities across the continent will host their own series of exciting fixtures, beginning with the opening game at Mexico City and culminating in the final near New York City.
ARGENTINA look to defend their title, though other forces, such as SPAIN's youthful European champion squad, are eyeing a world championship as well...:
