Los Angeles: The largest and most complex World Cup in history begins in just one year, with the United States, Canada and Mexico jointly hosted football extremists against the backdrop of Donald Trump’s political tension.
Forty -eight teams and millions of fans are ready to land for North America for the first World Cup shared by three countries, the tournament will continue on June 11 next year.
The theory, in the 23rd edition of the most famous sports spectacle on the planet, all conspiracies of a successful tournament are all conspiracies. A row of locations from Mexico’s famous locations to $ 5 billion in Sophie Stadium in Los Angeles will host about 104 games spread over six weeks.
The United States will host a large number of these fixtures – 78 – 13 with Canada and Mexico. All the games after the quarter -finals will be in the United States, ending the tournament on July 19, 2026, in the final at the 82,500 seat of New Jersey at the Met Life Stadium.
US officials believe that the World Cup return to the country – 32 years after the United States hosted the 1994 final – can represent a water shedding moment for football in the country.
“The World Cup Games will take attention to the ways that no one ever thought,” said Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber. Meanwhile, FIFA President Giani Infantino is equivalent to “104 Super Bowls” in the final next year, making the World Cup’s six billion viewers estimate 120 million or more, at the height of the NFL season.
There are historical ideas that suggest that the hype can be justified. The 1994 World Cup in the United States is the best partner in the history of the World Cup, with 68,600 spectators in each game on average.
However, when organizers indirectly assess trade success, FIFA estimates that it may generate $ 11 billion, but questions are left on other aspects of the tournament.
48 teams-which are more than 32 in 2022-will spread to 12 groups of charter, the top two teams in each group will move forward in the knockout round, and the eight best third-position teams will be included to make the last 32.
It is likely to reduce the risk of danger in the round before this extension, this problem has been seen in other major championships that have increased in size in recent years. It is also a question of how US President Trump’s polarizing policies can affect the tournament.
Since taking office, Trump has launched a World Trade War, repeatedly threatening to integrate the World Cup co -host Canada, and has launched an immigration crackdown on US borders, which has recently been visited by countries like France, Britain, Germany and Australia.
Trump signed a travel ban on 12 countries, including Iran this week, who qualified for the World Cup, but the ban will not apply to the players who participated in the tournament.
Trump, who is the Chairman of the White House Task Force, oversees preparations for the World Cup, saying that there is nothing to be frightened by fans traveling in the tournament.
“Every part of the US government is working to ensure that these events are safe and successful, and those traveling to the United States to watch the competition have a smooth experience during every part of their visit,” Trump said last month.
FIFA’s chief Infantino, who has established close ties with Trump, insisted that the United States is ready to “welcome the world”. Infantino said, “Everyone who wants to come here to enjoy, enjoy, celebrate the game will be able to do so.” However, with a year’s passage, it is in no way clear that the pledge of infinite will remain.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said last month that some embassy staff may need to work on double shifts to accelerate visa processing, for example in Colombia, where US visas are currently 15 months.
