Will be interesting to see how the new 48 team format works, what Canadian cities are chosen, and how many games Canada will get. I'm guessing the group games for Canada's group and one other group, 2 round of 16 and one quarterfinal.
Also, with the issues around the Women's World Cup on artificial turf, I'm guessing any Canadian stadiums picked will need to install temporary grass?

Fifa will definitely foot the bill to get natural grass into their premier money-making event.
There have also been rumours of a Spain-Portugal-Morocco joint bid. That one logistically might make more sense.
