US Officials Eye Bid to Host 64-Team World Cup in 2038

US government representatives say the country can handle an expanded 64-team FIFA World Cup if the tournament grows beyond 48 teams. They point to the venues, transport networks and lodging used for the 2026 event, which the US will co-host with Canada and Mexico. Andrew Giuliani, head of the White House World Cup Task Force, told a sports outlet that the nation’s stadiums and infrastructure could support even more teams. He stressed the main focus remains on delivering a successful 2026 World Cup before exploring future bids. With the 2030 and 2034 hosts already chosen, the next open bid is for 2038. While no formal submission has been made, officials’ comments signal early US interest in bringing football’s flagship event back for a third time.
