North America Wins World Cup 2026 Bid: How Each Country Voted

Here is how each FIFA member associations voted for the 2026 World Cup

The North American bid of the United States, Mexico and Canada easily won Wednesday's vote from FIFA's member associations to host the 2026 World Cup.

It will be the first men's World Cup held in North America since the United States hosted the tournament in 1994 and the fourth overall after Mexico hosted in 1970 and 1986. It will be the first World Cup since the 2002 edition in South Korea and Japan in which multiple countries will host.

The voting wasn't all that close. The USA's joint bid received 134 votes to Morocco's 65, with Cuba, Slovenia and Spain (which was controversially firing its coach at the time of the vote) abstaining from the voting. A “none of the bids” vote was placed by Iran. Despite Africa appearing to act as a unified bloc in the build-up to the election, 11 African nations wound up voting for the United Bid, according to the results published by FIFA. Of the Moroccan support of note, Brazil, Italy, France, Qatar and North Korea opted to back the African country.
