Fake News Alert: 2026 World Cup in the US is NOT Cancelled

Rumors of the 2026 World Cup cancellation in the United States have spread rapidly across social media. These claims, however, are false. According to a recent video by Carlos Eduardo Espina, a social media influencer, FIFA has not canceled the event. "The FIFA has not canceled the World Cup here; the FIFA has not changed the host," Espina stated in his video. He attributes the spread of misinformation to individuals creating fake news for online attention. Espina's video serves as a valuable counter-narrative to the false claims, urging people to verify information before sharing it. The 2026 World Cup remains scheduled to take place in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
