The FIFA World Cup 2026 hosted across the USA, Canada and Mexico was supposed to be the sustainable one. No more billion-dollar stadiums rotting in a field. Just reuse existing NFL and Liga MX venues. But turning stadiums like MetLife, SoFi, AT&T and the Estadio Azteca into World Cup grounds jaime pressly was never that simple.

Because "using what you have" means billion-dollar "seating bowl surgery," grass grown in Colorado and trucked in on refrigerated lorries, a $5.5 billion stadium losing the final, residents fighting over water in the Azteca's shadow, and the most expensive tickets in World Cup history.

In this video, we break down the engineering, a little economics, and the human cost west surrey elections 2026 of the most ambitious World Cup ever staged. And how the "sustainable" tournament ended up with the biggest carbon footprint in its history.

Let's get into it.
