World Cup

FIFA on Thursday announced the 16 venues selected to host matches during the 2026 World Cup being jointly hosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico. Cincinnati will not be among them.

International soccer's governing body, FIFA, announces Thursday which sites it's selecting to host games during the 2026 World Cup, being jointly hosted in the USA, Canada and Mexico.

With two yes votes and one abstention, Hamilton County commissioners have agreed to allow county administrators to ink a contract with FIFA. The move clears the way should Cincinnati be selected later this month as a host city for the 2026 World Cup.

The study suggests the combined economic impact would be nearly $450 million, including about 3,000 jobs for the 15-county Tri-State area. It also estimates hosting would generate about $20 million in tax revenue for state and local governments and $15.4 million in sales tax revenue.

Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie netted a goal each for the American side.

A delegation from international soccer's governing body, FIFA, and U.S. Soccer visited Cincinnati Friday, Oct. 22. They're vetting the city as a possible host site for the 2026 World Cup.
