The FIFA World Cup continues to expand its global footprint, with upcoming editions set to be hosted across multiple countries and even continents. After the 2026 tournament, the spotlight will shift to a historic and symbolic edition in 2030.
With the 2026 World Cup widely regarded as a major success across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, global attention is already shifting to the future of football’s biggest tournament.
