2026 World Cup Will Be Hosted by United States, Mexico & Canada

With the World Cup about to start in less than 24 hours, some big news has hit America even as our own national team will not be competing in this year’s global event. Fast forward eight years, and for the first time in FIFA history, three nations (United States, Canada and Mexico) will be the host of the upcoming 2026 World Cup.

The vote by 200 national soccer federations for FIFA’s annual Congress came earlier today in Russia, as North America defeated Morocco for the bid.

During the tournament in 2026, the field will expand to 48 teams instead of the usual 32.

60 of the 80 games will be played in the U.S., including everything from the quarterfinals forward. Canada and Mexico will host 10 games each, with the final to be hosted at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

America has not hosted a World Cup since 1994. The bid today should give the United States a big incentive to step their game up for the future and make sure the national team competes in the next World Cup and beyond. This year, the team failed to make the cut for the tournament, which significantly stalled the development of the young talent currently on the squad.

Chance the Rapper – Work Out / Wala Cam / I Might Need Security / 65th Ingleside

Earlier this week, reports surfaced that Chance the Rapper was releasing an official album, before his pending 7-track collaborative effort with Kanye West. Well, Chance unfortunately debunked the story, saying that we weren’t getting an album this week; but said he was still in the studio. Luckily, Chano III kept his word and has blessed the public with four new songs for the summer. Here, you can listen to his new cuts: “ Work Out ” “ Wala Cam ” “ I Might Need Security ” and “ 65th Ingleside ” – serving as an appetizer to the full project later this year. Sorry no album this week, def been in the stu tho. 😎 — Chance The Rapper (@chancetherapper) July 17, 2018

JAY-Z Calls Out Philly Mayor Over ‘Made in America’ Move

JAY-Z has written an op-ed for the The Philadelphia Inquirer, after Philly mayor Jim Kenney stopped Made in America from taking place on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in 2019. “We are disappointed that the mayor of the city of Philadelphia would evict us from the heart of the city, through a media outlet, without a sit-down meeting, notice, dialogue, or proper communication,” JAY said. “It signifies zero appreciation for what Made In America has built alongside the phenomenal citizens of this city. In fact, this administration immediately greeted us with a legal letter trying to stop the 2018 event.”
