The United States, Mexico and Canada are going to announce a joint bid for the 2026 World Cup on Monday, a person familiar with the decision said.
The Confederation of North and Central America and Caribbean Association Football is moving ahead with the bid that was widely expected before Donald Trump was elected president. There has been concern the plan was unworkable under Trump’s antiimmigrant policies, but even if he serves a second term Trump would not be president in 2026.
The confederation made the final decision to go ahead with the bid at its meeting Saturday in Aruba, the person said. In a news release, CONCACAF said the countries will be making a “historic announcement.”
