City of Boston in the running to host major sports tournament in 2026
The Boston Globe reported that the city of Boston/Foxboro is in the running to host the 2026 Men's World Cup of Soccer. If selected, the tournament would, of course, be held at Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots of the NFL.
Boston.com released an article Wednesday morning titled 'Gillette Stadium among sites that find out Thursday whether they will host 2026 men's World Cup games,' which states:
"Preparations are about to ramp up for the expanded 2026 men's event, to be held in not just one, but three, of the biggest countries on the planet."
"On Thursday, 12 US venues will be finalized for the 2026 World Cup, with three cities already determined in Canada (Edmonton, Toronto, Vancouver) and three in Mexico (Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey)."
"The US candidates have been whittled from 49 to 17. Dallas, Los Angeles, and New York can start making plans. But everyone else will have to wait for the FIFA judges to decide, and that includes Boston/Foxborough."
