A Look Back: World Cup History in North America
The World Cup has graced North America only a handful of times before. Mexico became the first nation to host it twice in 1986 after first hosting in 1970. Both Mexican tournaments are remembered for legendary performances by Pelé and Diego Maradona.
The United States hosted in 1994, setting a record for total attendance that still stands today, while Canada made its mark hosting the 2015 Women’s World Cup.
The 2026 edition marks a new era, not only for its tri-national setup, but also for its scale. With 16 host cities across the continent, fans can experience soccer’s global celebration in diverse cultural and geographic settings.
