Chile and Argentina to Consider Joint Bid for 2026 FIFA World Cup

Santiago and Buenos Aires have indicated they will submit a joint bid to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The South American neighbors have a long history of football rivalry, but they have also shown a willingness to work together in the past.

In 2021, the two countries co-hosted the Copa América, and they have also collaborated on other sporting events, such as the 2014 FIFA Under-17 Women's World Cup.

The bid would be a major undertaking for both countries, but it is one that they believe they can pull off.

Chile has hosted the FIFA Under-20 World Cup twice, in 1987 and 2015.

Argentina has hosted the FIFA World Cup once, in 1978.

The two countries have a combined population of over 60 million people, and they have a strong football infrastructure.

The bid would also be a major boost for South America.

No South American country has hosted the FIFA World Cup since Brazil in 2014.

A joint bid from Chile and Argentina would be a strong contender to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The two countries have the infrastructure, the experience, and the passion for football to make it a success.

The decision on who will host the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be made by FIFA in 2024.

Other countries that are considering bidding for the tournament include Morocco, Spain and Portugal, and a joint bid from the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be the first to feature 48 teams, up from the current 32.

The tournament will be played in 16 cities across the host country or countries.
