The so-called 'city of sin' will host the draw for the group stage of the 2026 World Cup at the beginning of December. A tournament for which some teams like Argentina, Brazil, Japan or debutants like Uzbekistan and already have confirmed tickets, pending the start of the bulk of the World Cup qualification in Europe and Africa.

This will be a draw that involves 48 teams for the first time in the history of the FIFA World Cup. A draw that will take place in a venue that has recently become an icon of Las Vegas, The Sphere at The Venetian Resort, a venue that has already hosted major world-class events such as the NBA All-Star Game or UFC and boxing cards with disputes for world titles.

Once again, FIFA is trusting Las Vegas to host an event like the draw for the group stage of the World Cup. On the last occasion that this event was held in the city, in 1993, the ceremony took place at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
