Canada, Mexico, and USA.

I think that map shows all locations where games will be held...

Yup. Still salty about Chicago turning down their bid. But North America will be cool. Time to renew my passport!

I believe the US city list may get cut down slightly, but there will still be 15-20 stadiums total. They can't physically host that amount of games without using many different locations.

Pretty surprised that not one match will be in Chicago

They were offered, but declined.

FIFA could not provide a basic level of certainty on some major unknowns that put our city and taxpayers at risk. The uncertainty for taxpayers, coupled with FIFA’s inflexibility and unwillingness to negotiate, were clear indications that further pursuit of the bid wasn’t in Chicago’s best interests.

Yet I call B.S. They have hosted Copa America which is a MAJOR event. The economic benefits would be huge for Chicago. Still salty
