The 2026 FIFA World Cup may still be six years away, but soccer fanatics and Kansas Citians alike can make their voices heard now in an effort to bring the biggest sporting event on the planet to the Midwest.
Today marks precisely 2,026 days until 2026, a year highlighted by the FIFA World Cup taking place that summer in the United States, Mexico and Canada. Kansas City, of course, is in the running to be named one of 10 U.S. host cities for the coveted competition, which will expand to 48 participating nations in 2026.
Kansas City is one of 17 American cities currently in contention to host matches, with FIFA tabbed to select 10 sites at a later date.
