Historical Context

After FIFA awarded the United States the 1994 World Cup on July 4 1988, the tournament set attendance records with 3.59 million spectators across 24 teams and introduced three-point wins and indoor play, boosting U.S. TV revenue. Those successes guided the 2026 bid, now expanding to 48 teams and streamed by Fox and Telemundo.
