All Co-Hosts Eliminated from 2026 FIFA World Cup

The 2026 FIFA World Cup co-hosts, the United States, Mexico, and Canada, were all eliminated from the tournament. The U.S. faced Belgium in the Round of 16 on Monday, July 4, 2023, suffering a 4-1 defeat at Lumen Field in Seattle.

This loss marked the end of a challenging tournament for the U.S., which had hoped to advance further on home soil. Canada was eliminated earlier on Saturday, July 4, 2023, losing 3-0 to Morocco, with Azzedine Ounahi scoring twice and Soufian Rahimi sealing the result.

Canada's campaign was hindered by injury concerns surrounding star winger Alphonso Davies. Mexico also exited the tournament after a 3-2 defeat to England at Estadio Azteca, with Jude Bellingham scoring twice.

Following the exit, Mexico's coach Javier Aguirre is set to be replaced by assistant Rafael Marquez. The 2026 World Cup will be the first jointly hosted by three nations and will feature an expanded format with 48 teams.
