World Cup 2026: DFB votes for the USA, Canada and Mexico

Moscow (SID) The German Football Association (DFB) will vote for the USA, Canada and Mexico in awarding the 2026 World Cup. The DFB announced this on Tuesday evening. The final round will be awarded by the FIFA Congress on Wednesday (from 8.00:207 a.m./CEST), with Morocco and the re-tendering of the award also up for grabs. Up to XNUMX FIFA nations are entitled to vote; a simple majority is enough to win. "It is gratifying that both applications will be voted on at the congress following a fair and transparent procedure. This makes the US President's political interventions, which contradict FIFA's idea of fair play, all the more regrettable. Accordingly, they have no bearing on the DFB's decision had an influence," said DFB President Reinhard Grindel. The expansion of the field of participants speaks against Morocco: "Because of the new format of a World Cup tournament with 48 teams, smaller countries without extensive stadium capacity find it more difficult to compete successfully as hosts. In this respect, smaller and medium-sized associations should think about joint applications for future World Cups," said Grindel. The USA hosted the 1994 World Cup and Morocco would be the second African World Cup organizer after South Africa in 2010.
