AZTECA STADIUM AND SOFI STADIUM ARE AMONG THE 16 VENUES FOR THE 2026 WORLD CUP

  • 17/06/2022

The Azteca Stadium in Mexico City and the multibillion-dollar SoFi Stadium of the Los Angeles Rams are two of the 16 stadiums that will host World Cup games in 2026.

The first 48-team World Cup will be held in 16 cities across the United States, as well as three in Mexico and two in Canada.

The competition is being held in three countries for the first time.

The Azteca Stadium will also be the first stadium to host three World Cups.

The Pasadena Rose Bowl in Los Angeles, which hosted the 1994 World Cup final, was not featured.

Another significant absentee was Washington, DC, which was one of nine host cities the last time the tournament was held in the United States. 

The joint bid from Washington DC and Baltimore, Maryland, was one of six that were not chosen alongside Cincinnati, Denver, Nashville, Orlando and Edmonton.
