Nothing to do with Town but this seems to be the place to post any other football business so..

The host Cities have been picked for the 2026 World Cup and its going to be huge.

For a start it will have 48 teams competing, the most ever for a World Cup
They will be split into 16 groups of 3 with the top 2 from each group going through to the knockout stages starting with the Round of 32
Each confederation will see a rise in qualification spots as a result of the increased teams in the finals (previous World Cups in Brackets)
Oceania will get 1.5 (0.5)
Asian 8.5 (4.5)
North, Central and Caribbean 6.5 (3.5)
Africa 9 (5)
South America 6.5 (4.5)
UEFA 16 (13)

It'll played over 3 Countries which are Canada, USA and Mexico
Atlanta - Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Boston - Gillette Stadium
Dallas - AT&T Stadium
Guadalajara - Estadio Akron
Houston - NRG Stadium
Kansas City - Arrowhead Stadium
Los Angeles - SoFi Stadium
Mexico City - Estadio Azteca
Miami - Hard Rock Stadium
Monterrey - Estadio BBVA
New York/New Jersey - MetLife Stadium
Philadelphia - Lincoln Financial Field
San Francisco Bay Area - Levi's Stadium
Seattle - Lumen Field
Toronto - BMO Field
Vancouver - BC Place

So potentially some huge trips to be made although they reckon the initial group games will be played close together so no traveling from Mexico to Canada.

It all sounds like a logistical nightmare to me
