This makes total sense strategically. Vegas has world-class venues, hotels, and can handle massive international events. Plus it’s a neutral location that won’t favor any particular host city. Smart move by FIFA actually
What a waste of resources. Vegas is already overcrowded and the traffics a nightmare. We dont need more tourists flooding the strip for some lottery draw that takes 2 hours.
This is absolute amazing news for Vegas!! Finally we get some recognition for world class sports event. The city deserves this after all the investment in infrastructure and stadiums.
FINALLY!!! Been waiting for FIFA to announce this for months now. Vegas is perfect location central timezone and world class entertainment options for all the international visitors coming
Why Vegas though?? There are cities with actual soccer culture and history. This is just FIFA being corrupt and choosing the city that will pay them the most money. Same old story different day.
yeah because when I think of the beautiful game I immediately think of vegas casinos and fountain shows lmao. Next they’ll have the Ballon d’Or ceremony at a drive-thru wedding chapel
Hold on – are we talking about Vegas having actual World Cup GAMES or just the draw ceremony? Because if its just the draw thats kind of misleading headline. The actual tournament will have matches in other US cities plus Canada and Mexico.
The draw ceremony will be held at a venue on the Las Vegas Strip, likely in April 2026. It’s basically where they determine which teams play in which groups and cities. For those confused – actual matches are in other cities.
Everyone acting like this is the superbowl or something. Its literally just people drawing balls out of a container to decide matchups. You can watch it on TV from you’re couch why does it matter where they do it??
Sure, let’s host a DRAW for a sport that Americans barely watch in a city known for gambling. What could possibly go wrong? I’m sure there’s absolutely no irony there whatsoever.
Nothing screams “international football” quite like doing the draw in a city that’s never hosted a single World Cup match. But hey, at least the delegates can enjoy some blackjack after ruining everyone’s bracket predictions! 😂

Oh great, because nothing says “football tradition” like slot machines and Elvis impersonators. I’m sure Pele would be so proud. 🙄
cant wait to see wich teams end up in the group of death! This will be huge for tourism and the local economy too.

So they gonna do the DRAW in Vegas not actual games right? People need to read better before getting excited lol. Still cool tho I guess.
