The appointment was made at its meeting held by video conference from the Home of FIFA.
The host selection process took into consideration the infrastructure and service requirements, as well as broader strategic objectives for the tournament.
The decision was reached based on the United States’ position as a proven leader in staging global events and because it would allow FIFA to maximise synergies with the delivery of the FIFA World Cup 2026™, to the benefit of both tournaments and the development of football in the North American region.
