2026 FIFA World Cup

Nominating for AfD, since the article has been prodded before and the prod was contested. Concern: "I don't suspect we should be speculating this far in advance -- the article cited says: "Nicolas Maingot, an official at FIFA's media department, said FIFA has yet to decide on the sites, or even the continents, for the World Cups beyond 2014." Considering this statement, should this even be an article currently? Wikipedia is not a crystal ball Ian Manka Talk to me! 07:12, 12 July 2006 (UTC)" --Zoz (t) 11:32, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Do Not Delete Leave it up and running! Although the 2026 Cup is still way in the future, information already starts popping up so why not have it in Wikipedia? What's posted here is not some private person's thoughts but the info backed up by newspaper publications, so to a certain degree it's a credible info. There is a lot of speculative info re: 2014 and 2018 Cups as well, yet nobody proposes to delete it. And lastly, why are you so obsessed with the deletion? If you don't like it, just don't read it - read something else instead.
