MANCHESTER -- A 2026 World Cup shared between the United States, Mexico and Canada can show off a "diversified, unified region," CONCACAF secretary general Philippe Moggio said at Manchester's Soccerex conference on Tuesday.
On Monday, International Champions Cup organiser Charlie Stillitano said at the event that only a "crazy action" by President Donald Trump's administration could prevent the bid from succeeding, but Moggio denied that could ever become a factor.
Moggio said: "The reality is that the administration has been very supportive about this bid. It's a World Cup that will take place nine years from now, and because of the unifying power of sport, any administration would get behind what it could do for the country.
