Agenda Item: Evaluation of FIFA's World Cup host country selection process and criteria ahead of the 2026 World Cup

As the world’s most watched sporting event, the FIFA World Cup carries immense economic, political, and social significance. The selection of host countries is therefore not only a technical process, but a decision with global impact.

​

Ahead of the 2026 World Cup, this committee will evaluate FIFA’s host country selection process and criteria, examining issues of transparency, fairness, infrastructure, sustainability, and human rights. Delegates are tasked with assessing whether current mechanisms adequately reflect the responsibilities that come with hosting a global sporting event. The credibility of the tournament depends on the integrity of its selection process.
