Chicago and Vancouver will not try to become World Cup host cities in 2026.
This is in large part due to demands from FIFA concerning taxes and security.
The United States, Canada, and Mexico are vying to jointly host the World Cup in 2026.

Thanks to FIFA's outrageous demands towards host cities, a few major North American cities opted not to be included in the joint bid between the United States, Canada, and Mexico for the 2026 World Cup.

Chicago, the very headquarters of the U.S. Soccer Federation, is one such city that withdrew from the bid.
