September 24 – FIFA has begun an operational tour of the 16 host cities and stadia that will host the 2026 World Cup. The timing of the visits comes as doubts have been raised over whether the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, owned by Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke, will pull out of the event.
Unrest has been growing amongst venues of FIFA’s preparation and the commercial terms they have signed up to. There is also competitive tension between the host cities for hosting of the opening game and final.
