The United States is reportedly exploring a strong bid to host the 2038 FIFA World Cup, signaling a continued ambition in major global sporting events. While the 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, is still underway, the nation is already looking ahead to potentially securing another prestigious tournament.

According to reports, U.S. organizers believe they meet all the necessary prerequisites to host the 2038 edition. Andrew Giuliani, executive director of the White House task force for the World Cup, told the BBC that the U.S. has the required infrastructure and stadiums, estimating the cost to be significantly lower than other potential bids. The country is even considering its capacity to host an expanded 64-team World Cup.

FIFA has not yet awarded the 2038 tournament. Saudi Arabia is confirmed to host the 2034 World Cup, and the 2030 tournament will be spread across Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, with additional matches in Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay. The relationship between U.S. political leadership and FIFA is expected to play a role in future decisions regarding hosting rights.
