Hosting the 2026 World Cup: A Joint Bid from Bolivia and Venezuela

Bolivia and Venezuela have submitted a joint bid to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The two countries are hoping to bring the tournament to South America for the first time since 2014, when Brazil hosted the event. The bid is supported by the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) and has been praised by FIFA president Gianni Infantino.

Bolivia and Venezuela's Bid

The Bolivia-Venezuela bid is based on a plan to build or renovate 12 stadiums across the two countries. The stadiums would be located in major cities such as La Paz, Santa Cruz, Caracas, and Maracaibo. The bid also includes plans to improve transportation and infrastructure in both countries.

Bolivia and Venezuela are hoping that their bid will be chosen because of its unique features. The two countries are located in different time zones, which would allow for matches to be played at a variety of times. Additionally, the bid includes plans to use renewable energy sources to power the stadiums.

Other Bids

Bolivia and Venezuela are not the only countries that have submitted bids to host the 2026 World Cup. Morocco, a country in North Africa, has also submitted a bid. Morocco is hoping to become the first African country to host the World Cup.

The United States, Canada, and Mexico have also submitted a joint bid to host the 2026 World Cup. The three countries are hoping to bring the tournament back to North America for the first time since 1994, when the United States hosted the event.

The Decision

FIFA will announce the host country for the 2026 World Cup in May 2023. The decision will be made by a vote of the FIFA Council, which is made up of representatives from all 211 FIFA member associations.

The Bolivia-Venezuela bid is a strong contender to host the 2026 World Cup. The two countries have a lot to offer, including a unique location, a passion for football, and a commitment to sustainability. If Bolivia and Venezuela are chosen to host the tournament, it would be a historic moment for South America.
