President Donald Trump may not approve but the soccer federations of the United States, Canada and Mexico have announced a joint North American bid to host the 2026 World Cup.

Initial plans indicate that the United States will host 60 of the 80 scheduled games, with Canada and Mexico allotted ten each.

While this smaller figure does not sit well with many soccer fans in Mexico, the general idea has been well received both south and north of the U.S. border.

The Nafta World Cup, as some are already calling it, will be an expanded competition, with 48 teams participating, rather than 32. The United States, Canada and Mexico will have automatic entry, and play their opening round games on home soil.

The large choice of existing stadiums of high quality in the United States will reduce the need for massive infrastructure investment in a short space of time, an issue that has consistently dogged countries hosting previous tournaments.

The joint-hosting of the world’s single most popular sporting event would also send out a positive message and “be about more than just soccer,” says Arturo Sarukhan, a former Mexican ambassador to the United States who promoted the idea of a Mexico-U.S. World Cup bid during his time in office. “It would be about shifting mutual perceptions first and foremost, about the three nations becoming better neighbors and about creating a sense of common purpose.”
