Key Points

The Senate passed a resolution to officially welcome soccer fans and players from around the world for the 2026 World Cup. This tournament is the first time three countries, the United States, Mexico, and Canada, are hosting the event together.
The resolution highlights that the 2026 games will be the largest in history. It will feature 48 national teams playing a record 104 matches across 16 different cities, with 11 of those host cities located in the United States.
Lawmakers noted that the last time the United States hosted the World Cup in 1994, it set attendance records and helped start Major League Soccer. They hope this new tournament will continue to grow the sport and encourage friendship between different countries.
