The 2026 Fifa World Cup, hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, is projected to produce over nine million tonnes of CO2 emissions. This prediction comes from Global Responsibility, highlighting the impact of increased air travel and the expansion to 48 teams and 104 matches. This total is nearly double the average emissions of the last four World Cups and significantly higher than Qatar 2022's estimate of 5.25 million tonnes of CO2. FIFA aims for environmental sustainability, committing to a 50% emissions reduction by 2030.
The expanded 2026 World Cup will generate more than nine million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, almost double the average for the last four World Cup finals.
Next year's World Cup will be the first to be held across an entire continent and have 40 more matches, amounting to 104 matches total.
