All Three World Cup Co-Hosts Eliminated From Tournament

The 2026 FIFA World Cup has seen a historic elimination for its co-hosts, with the United States, Mexico, and Canada all failing to advance beyond the Round of 16.

The United States' 4-1 defeat to Belgium in Seattle on Monday marked the final exit for the trio. This loss concluded a disappointing tournament for the US on home soil, as they, along with their North American partners, had reached the knockout stage but could not progress further.

Canada was the first of the co-hosts to bow out, suffering a 3-0 loss to Morocco. Their campaign was further complicated by injury concerns surrounding star winger Alphonso Davies. Mexico followed on Sunday, narrowly losing 3-2 to England at the Estadio Azteca in a match that saw Jude Bellingham score twice and Harry Kane convert a penalty.

With all three co-hosts now eliminated, the remaining quarter-final field consists entirely of non-host nations. The tournament, which began on June 11, is being held across 16 cities in the three countries and is scheduled to conclude with the final on July 19. This marks the first World Cup to be jointly hosted by three nations and the first with an expanded 48-team format.
