Not going to happen. FIFA is locked in, there into the deep planning stages for each city.

No one talks about it, but the US is always the emergency world cup host should something go wrong because we have so much infrastructure available for it and can run a tournament on relatively short notice.

Ecuador didn't want Copa America so the us is hosting now. And that's in 2024. Back in 2003 we hosted the women's world cup with a few months notice.

Which is just to say, there's plenty of time to spin up a city to host. They just announced the format. I think if Chicago called, the phone would be answered.

Oh no doubt, we’re leagues ahead in regards to a lot of that, especially stadium infrastructure. It’s definitely not top of the list though, as fifa would likely try and iron out issues before immediately pivoting.
