Orlando and Washington hosted the 1994 men’s World Cup.
In total, 50 cities were in the 2031 bid. It’s likely a final decision won’t be made for several more years.
Mexico’s three sites for next year’s World Cup also are proposed for the women’s tournament, Mexico City (Azteca), Guadalajara (Akron) and Monterrey (BBVA), along with a fourth in Torreón (Corona).
National stadiums are proposed in Kingston, Jamaica, and San Jose, Costa Rica.
Gillette Stadium in Foxborough was listed a possible venue, as were Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The trio are all venues for the men’s World Cup in 2026.
Hard Rock Stadium, home of the Miami Dolphins, was the only 2026 World Cup venue not included in the 2031 bid.
Additional sites included were Baltimore (M&T Bank), Birmingham, Alabama (Protective), Carson, California (Dignity Health Sports Park), Cincinnati (TQL), Cleveland (Huntington Bank Field), Columbus, Ohio (Lower.com Field), Frisco, Texas (Toyota), Glendale, Arizona (State Farm), Harrison, New Jersey (Sports Illustrated), Los Angeles (Memorial Coliseum), Miami (Chase), Nashville (Nissan), New York (Etihad Park), Orlando (Inter & Co), Pasadena, California (Rose Bowl), St. Louis (Energizer Park), San Francisco (Oracle Park), Sandy, Utah (America First Field) and Tampa, Florida (Raymond James).
Second possible sites in cities, all with lower capacities, were included for Houston (Shell Energy), Kansas City (CPKC), and Washington, D.C. (Audi Field).
Indianapolis was listed for a proposed stadium.
Chicago was not listed after dropping out of bidding to host in 2026 because of what it said were FIFA’s burdensome financial demands.
