After more than 30 years, Chicago could once again host the FIFA World Cup. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the Windy City has a strong shot at getting the games due to its close proximity to airports and transportation and its diverse fan base.

Soldier Field in South Loop could be one of several North American spots to host the games. Known as the United Bid Committee, the soccer federations of the United States, Canada, and Mexico submitted a three-country joint pitch for the 2026 event.

Soldier Field does have one major component against it: the seating capacity is among the lowest of the venues in contention. The home of the Chicago Bears seats 61,500 people, making it unqualified to hold higher-profile games like the opening or final events. However, Executive Director of the Chicago Sports Commission Kara Bachman told the Times that it shouldn’t rule out the field as a qualified place to hold the event.

“We received applications from 41 cities across Canada, Mexico, and the United States and narrowed the list after a comprehensive review of each of the communities and facilities. The 32 cities that we have identified as potential host cities, on their own and together, are prepared to welcome soccer fans from around the world,” John Kristick, Executive Director of the United Bid Committee, said in a statement early October. “They are more than capable of helping fulfill the shared vision and ambition of FIFA and the United Bid in shaping the future of soccer in North America.”

Including Soldier Field, there are now currently 25 potential U.S. venues in the three nations to host the games. Over the next few years, that list will shrink down.
