The tournament will take place across six cities in North America - Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Kansas City, Vancouver, and Toronto. Each city will host three matches during the tournament. One of the most exciting aspects of the tournament will be the use of new technology to enhance the viewing experience for fans. For example, FIFA has announced plans to use artificial intelligence to help predict match outcomes based on historical data.

Fans can choose to watch replays of previous games or participate in interactive quizzes about the tournament.
