U.S. Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati says his group has not made a decision regarding a bid for the 2026 World Cup and has certainly not offered to share that tournament with Mexico, contradicting reports from last week’s FIFA Congress in Mexico City.
In an online story, ESPN wrote that John Motta, a member of the USSF board, said the U.S. and Mexico had discussed joining forces to stage the tournament. Motta was also quoted as saying that if a sharing arrangement could not be worked out, the U.S. would bid on the event alone.
