FIFA announced 16 cities from the United States, Mexico and Canada that will co-host 2026 World Cup matches on Thursday evening.
Denver was a finalist to host World Cup matches but was not selected. Had the city won its bid, the Denver Broncos would have been set to host games at their stadium, Empower Field at Mile High. (Of course, new owner Rob Walton might plan to build a brand new stadium.)
Missing out on World Cup matches is unfortunate for the city, but Denver will undoubtedly host other international soccer games in the coming years.
