Mashable: Fans from all around the world have already started to search for the hosting countries and tournament locations in advance.

After the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar was successfully concluded with Argentina winning the title after 36 years, all eyes are now focused on the next FIFA World Cup tournaments in 2026 and 2030, respectively.

The United States, Canada, and Mexico will co-host the FIFA World Cup in 2026. By providing platforms to 48 nations, these North American countries will host the event in a completely new and expanded format. This brand-new format had previously been the center of debate before it was decided.

Unlike the United States and Mexico, who will host it for the second and third time, respectively, Canada will be hosting the coveted FIFA World Cup for the very first time.

The three countries were chosen to host the event in 2018 and gave it the name "United 2026” after a majority of FIFA's congress voted in favor of these nations against Morocco.

FIFA has announced a list of sixteen cities from these three nations that will operate as the venues for the matches.

Eleven of them are located in the United States, and they are Atlanta, Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Seattle, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, New York/New Jersey, Boston, Philadelphia, and Miami. Three venues are located in Mexico, and they are the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, the Estadio BBVA in Monterrey, and the Estadio Akron in Guadalajara. The matches will be held in Canada at two different locations, including BMO Field in Toronto and Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton.

While there is still uncertainty on which country will host the FIFA World Cup in 2030, several countries have put in bids. Everyone was shocked when Ukraine officially joined Spain and Portugal in their combined bid because it is presently engaged in a conflict with Russia that is destroying its assets.

After losing out to the North American countries in the bid for the 2026 World Cup, Morocco is also aiming to secure the venue in 2030. Furthermore, South American countries Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay, and Chile are all competing with a joint bid option.

Before the FIFA congress meets in 2024 to conduct the voting, the uncertainty surrounding the hosting nation for the 2030 FIFA World Cup is not expected to be resolved.
