Organizers of the bid to bring the 2026 World Cup to the United States, Canada and Mexico offered another big hint Tuesday that Philadelphia has good odds of being a host city.
During a conference call with reporters about the bid’s prospects, bid committee executive director John Kristick was asked whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for a city competing for hosting rights to be close geographically to others of the 32 cities that are in the bid pool.
Philadelphia has long touted its proximity to other big Eastern cities as an asset.
