Good sequence of tweets on Edmontons 2026 chances to host by local soccer reporter.
Not a surprise. All it has going for it is capacity.

The field surface is far too expansive meaning the ends of the stadium are useless. The sidelines are too wide/large as the 8 lane track basically is still there in spirit. Major renovations would be needed to fix those issues permanently. Not sure they’d want temporary stands behind the nets.

The amenities and concourse are as basic as McMahon. Not that it matters much to FIFA, but the parking and ingress and egress are very poor.

Toronto and BC Place and call it a day. Canada shouldn’t be travelling all over the country for their 3 group games but I assume thats what the CSA want and why they would have 3 venues.
