Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Las Vegas has welcomed the World Cup draw. The city also hosted the draw for the 1994 FIFA World Cup, which was also staged in the United States. Similar to 1994, Las Vegas will not serve as a match venue during the tournament but will still play a pivotal role in its planning.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, marking the first time the event will be held across three nations.
