After being slowed by the pandemic, the race among 17 U.S. cities to land a coveted spot hosting the 2026 World Cup is back on.

Atlanta is counting on its retractable-roof stadium, which opened in 2017, and history of staging everything from the Summer Olympics to theMontagliani and Colin Smith, FIFA's chief tournament and events officer, already visited Boston and Nashville. Over the next week, they're planning stops in Orlando, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, New York City, Philadelphia and Miami.

“There is never a stipulation of exactly how many we're going to have in each country,” Montagliani said. “At the end of the day, we're going to make the best decision for the World Cup itself, whatever that number may be.” Taking a jab at competitors such as Boston and Dallas, Eales added, “You're in the middle of nowhere. There's nothing going on around those sites.”

Like their counterparts at the International Olympic Committee, FIFA officials have never seemed too concerned about the politics of a host city or country.
