US Lobbies To Host World Cup In 2026

US President Donald Trump says the country has put together "a strong bid" with Canada and Mexico to host the World Cup in 2026.

Morocco have also made a bid to host the event and has received significant support in recent weeks.

President Trump tweeted that it would be "a shame if countries we always support" lobbied against the US bid.

The vote to award the 2026 event takes place on 13 June in Moscow at world governing body Fifa's annual congress. The United States previously hosted the World Cup in 1994.
