D.C. vying to host 2026 World Cup games

The United States landed the 2026 World Cup two years ago, and now the Washington, D.C., area is making a big push to be one of the host cities. The aptly named DC2026 was publicly launched yesterday, and it features a bunch of familiar names all united around the goal of bringing World Cup matches here: Bill Hamid is one of the co-chairs, and Andi Sullivan, Jose Andres, Jason Levien, Joanna Lohman, Eddie Pope, Brianna Scurry, Steve Baldwin, and more are the members of the Advisory Board.

Also, in a blast to the past, Mark Ein is one of the co-chairs of the Advisory Board as well.
