FIFA president Gianni Infantino says he expects soccer to be the biggest sport in North America in time for the 2026 World Cup as the international tournament’s host cities in the United States, Canada and Mexico were announced on Thursday.

World soccer governing body FIFA announced the 16 cities which were successful from the 22 bids put forward during a special event at the Rockefeller Centre in New York. Eleven of the host cities are in the United States, three in Mexico and two in Canada.

“There’ll be a whole other process for picking not just the final, but the big matches, knockout matches, the opening match and obviously the final,” explained Montaglian. Mexico, which hosted the World Cup in 1970 and 1986, will stage matches in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey, while Canada, which is staging the men’s event for the first time, will do so in Vancouver and Toronto.
