How we got here

In 2022, FIFA announced Dallas-Fort Worth was one of 16 cities across Canada, Mexico and the U.S. that would host matches for the tournament in 2026. The tournament will feature 104 matches split across the three countries.


Frisco hopes to play an important role in the tournament by acting as a base camp for participating teams.
