In 2026, the FIFA World Cup will cross a new frontier: forty-eight teams, one hundred and four matches, and three host nations sharing the world’s biggest sporting event across an entire continent. Three Nations, One Tournament: Inside the 2026 FIFA World Cup tells the story of this landmark edition before a ball is kicked, mapping the decisions, structures, and ambitions that make it unlike any World Cup that came before.From the political battle that secured the United 2026 bid to the painstaking logistics of staging a tournament in sixteen cities across Canada, Mexico, and the United States, this book goes behind the headlines to explain how the World Cup is actually built. It unpacks the expanded 48-team format, the new round of 32, and the playoff paths that keep six places undecided until March 2026. It follows qualification on every continent, profiling debutants and long-awaited returnees, and explores how technology, broadcasting, business, and data are reshaping the modern global game.At the same time, the book looks beyond the pitch to examine sustainability promises, human-rights frameworks, fan culture, and the wider impact on women’s football and youth development. It shows how domestic leagues, host cities, and ordinary communities across North America are being transformed by a World Cup that is as much about infrastructure, identity, and power as it is about goals and trophies.Written as a pre-tournament edition, Three Nations, One Tournament is both a complete guide to the World Cup’s new era and a foundation for a future, updated volume that will add the drama of matches, upsets, and champions to the structural story told here. It is the definitive portrait of World Cup 26 at the moment just before the whistle blows.
