FIFA Confirms Mexico, Canada, U.S. Automatically Qualify For 2026 World Cup. FIFA historically has given host nations the right to play in the World Cup without going through the usual qualification tournaments, though this is the first time FIFA had to set aside three host bids. The three countries won the right to host the World Cup in a united North American bid. The tournament is set to expand from 32 teams to 48 in 2026. What is your take on automatic qualification of the three countries ?
