2026 world cup

On Wednesday FIFA announced the host for the 2026 world cup. With the rights given to the three-nation bidders which are the United States of America, Mexico and Canada. Argentina legend Maradona made his decision known of not being satisfied with the announcement of the three-nation as the host.

The decision will make Mexico the first country to host three times (hosted in 1970 and 1986) while the USA will be hosting for the second time after staging the tournament in 1994.

“I don’t like it,” Maradona told Telesur. “Mexico doesn’t deserve it. The Mexicans come up against Brazil or Germany… and ‘boom,’ they’re out.”

The World cup winner in 1986 also took issue with Canada and the U.S., recalling a proposal ahead of the American-hosted 1994 World Cup from then-FIFA president Joao Havelange that would have split games into quarters to allow for more television commercials.

“There’s no passion,” Maradona said. “The Canadians may be good skiers, and the Americans wanted to have four periods of 25 [minutes] for the advertising.”

The three-nation defeated Morocco in votes, as they got 134 votes compared to 65 votes for Morocco.
