US Considers Surprising Bid for 2038 FIFA World Cup Hosting

The United States, fresh off hosting the 2026 World Cup, is reportedly exploring a surprising bid to host the 2038 tournament. This possibility comes despite mixed reactions to the recent event, where some critics suggested FIFA should look elsewhere before returning to North America.

However, FIFA's confederation rotation system, combined with official comments and rival bid uncertainties, makes a 2038 US bid far more realistic. The 2030 World Cup is already slated for Europe and Africa, with Spain, Portugal, and Morocco as primary hosts.
