The former changed Argentina's style of play completely, giving them a difficult press to deal with and freeing up Messi to do his thing. Just because we are unlikely to see two of the greatest players of all time in Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and generational talents such as Luka Modrić at another World Cup, doesn't mean it's time for sadness. The goal for 2026 has to be to go further at the very least. A great deal of major talent shone in Qatar and is set to play even bigger roles four years from now. One has to wonder if Harry Kane, who will be 33 by the end of the next tournament, will need some stiffer competition in North America. It's also easy to forget Ferrán Torres is only 22 years old and still has many years of improvement ahead of him. Twelve groups of four seem more palatable, but there is likely to be a fair bit of toing and froing as the governing body does what it can to maximise profits from television rights for the competition. It's likely both Spain and England will be looking to 2026 as their opportunity to strike. All knockout games from the quarter-finals on will take place in the U.S., with MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford, New Jersey), SoFi Stadium (Inglewood, California) and AT&T Stadium (Dallas) among the favourites to host the final. While Brazil is always expected to perform, there will certainly need to be an uptick in key areas ahead of 2026. The dressing room influence of Thiago Silva and Dani Alves will be long gone. FIFA initially indicated this would break down into 16 groups of three, a format that was put forward to ensure every country goes for the win in their two confirmed games.

This will give the winning host nation six years to prepare. Under that new format, including an extra round, the World Cup from 2026 onwards could include a total of 104 games. The matches will be played across 16 different cities – 11 from America, two in Canada and three in Mexico. Initially, a new competition format was revealed by Fifa, in which 16 groups of three teams would compete for qualification. In a tournament first, the World Cup will be held across three host countries – America, Canada and Mexico – after the trio's bid fended off a strong proposal from Morocco. But who will be hosting the next competition and which countries are in contention to play host in 2030?

The United States, Canada, and Mexico are all set to jointly host the prestigious FIFA World Cup 2026 with Canada hosting it for the very first time.

Morocco is also eyeing to get the venue in 2030 after losing the bid for the 2026 World Cup to the North American nations.

While there is still suspense over the hosting nation for FIFA World Cup 2030 with multiple nations coming up for the bid. Canada meanwhile will be hosting the matches at two venues including Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton and BMO Field in Toronto.
