There were some surprising snubs, however. Canada’s second largest city, Montréal, not getting a game was a bit of a disappointing snub, although the provincial government of Québec withdrew its support in 2021. Another apparent snub the absence of Washington, DC, the national capital of the United States. Perhaps the most shocking omission was Chicago, which is one of the biggest cities in the United States.
In all, 11 American cities, 3 Mexican cities, and 2 Canadian cities have been selected to host World Cup games. They are as follows:
