Terry Hasseltine, Maryland Sports executive director and Maryland Stadium Authority vice president, told Glenn Clark Radio July 17 that Baltimore has a legitimate chance to be part of the North American World Cup in 2026.
Whether it's hosting matches at M&T Bank Stadium or hosting conferences and workshops leading up to the tournament, Hasseltine thinks Baltimore could be an attractive location for FIFA.
"We are very capable, we have a well-orchestrated and well-put together team of people and organizations working to put it all together," Hasseltine said. "Our stadium is being transformed as we speak. It's under construction, adding all kinds of new amenities for the fan experience. We're constantly in talks about the future of what soccer matches might be played here at M&T between now and 2026.
