They said to reuse infrastructure and won't need extra money spending.

They said to reuse infrastructure and won't need extra money spending.

They said that the infrastructure is already in place. There is the necessary infrastructure in venues that won't be used in WC26.

Edit: Oh I missed the part that is saying same venues

Edit: Oh I missed the part that is saying same venues

"The U.S. and Mexico are in a unique position to host a World Cup that will leverage the same venues, infrastructure, and protocols used for the Men’s World Cup just a year prior."

Does it really mean they will use the exact same venues? I somehow doubt it. And even if they say it now, if they win the bid, they can always choose a different set of venues. I think they will use some of the WC26 venues, but some of the candidate cities which were not chosen may get selected, especially if they already have a women's pro team, e.g., San Diego, Portland, Orlando.

Didn't Rose Bowl host the 1994 final?

Yes. But the stadium is not included in the 2026 World Cup.

The Rose Bowl also hosted the 1999 Women's World Cup final. Coincidentally, both finals, Brazil vs italy and USA vs China, finished 0-0 after extra time and the World Cup champions were decided by penalty kicks. And those two finals still remain the only goalless finals, men or women. So FIFA, whatever you do, don't put the final at the Rose Bowl!

Could it be a replacement for 2026?

IIRC correctly all venues are WC virgins?

PS. Any news on schedule?
