At a watch party in Washington D.C., the crowd was sullen when the last of the cities was announced. A similar scene played out in Denver.
– Cheers and sighs met FIFA’s announcement of the host cities for the 2026 World Cup. There were a number of no-brainers among the 16 World Cup sites, like the Los Angeles area, Mexico City and Toronto. But for some of the cities that were on the bubble, the announcement Thursday was a dud.
“We’re disappointed. Anybody that knows me, I’m a pretty competitive SOB. I don’t like losing,” said Butch Spyridon, CEO of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. “I want to be at every one of those games. I know Kansas City and how much they love soccer, and now with the Current and Sporting — the city loves that sport,” Mahomes said a few hours before the official announcement was made.
“This is a great opportunity to have this World Cup and have it on center stage right here in Dallas. You guys know how enthused I am about the Dallas Cowboys but this is unbelievably special for Dallas,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said at a joyous rally in that city. Both Atlanta and Seattle, which currently have artificial turf at their stadiums, will have to install real grass for the World Cup.
