About World Cup 2026

World Cup 2026 will be unlike any previous edition: more teams, more host cities and a larger geographical footprint than ever before. This page explains the big picture and clarifies what this website aims to do.

Tournament overview

The tournament will take place across Canada, Mexico and the United States. Stadiums vary from football‑specific arenas to converted venues that normally host American football or large concerts. Because of the distances involved, travel planning is a serious factor for teams and supporters.

Qualification processes are handled by the respective continental confederations. Each region decides how to allocate its slots, typically combining group stages and knock‑out play‑offs. The final tournament gathers the best teams from these processes for a concentrated month of football.

What this website provides

This site is written for curious fans who enjoy understanding the structure around major tournaments: how fixtures are organised, how formats influence tactics and how host cities prepare for visitors. Instead of daily news updates, the focus lies on explanatory content that remains useful over time.

  • Readable summaries of qualification paths and play‑off structures.
  • Neutral commentary on tactical trends without favouring specific national teams.
  • Basic travel and logistics considerations for supporters moving between cities.
  • Context about stadiums, climate and scheduling constraints.

Editorial independence & disclaimer

All text on this website is independently written for informational purposes. The site does not sell tickets, travel packages, broadcast rights or merchandise. Logos, brand names and official emblems of football organisations are not used here. Instead, simple geometric design elements hint at the tournament without copying protected artwork.

Whenever you make financial decisions – such as booking travel, buying tickets or applying for visas – you should rely on primary sources: official federations, governments and ticket providers. This site is best treated as an educational supplement.

Technical design & performance goals

From a technical point of view the website is built with lightweight, semantic HTML, a single optimised CSS file and a compact JavaScript bundle. This keeps page‑load times low and helps search engines understand the structure of the content.

The layout adapts to mobile phones, tablets and desktop screens without relying on heavy frameworks. Accessibility features – such as proper landmarks, alt attributes and keyboard navigation for the tabbed match‑centre interface – are prioritised from the beginning.
