World Cup trio urge FIFA to put bid on fast track

Wednesday, April 12, 2017


While bidding for a World Cup is typically a years-long process, the United States, Mexico and Canada are asking FIFA to make its decision much more quickly on the joint bid they announced Monday.

The official timeline to select a host for the 2026 World Cup is set for May 2020, but the joint Concacaf bid has asked FIFA to begin considering their proposal next month, with a decision that could come as quickly as next year, well ahead of schedule.
