FIFA’s Refusal to Host the World Cup in Russia

Former host Russia frozen out as World Cup begins in Qatar

Host Russia refused to host the World Cup event because it didn’t want to take on the financial burden, but that’s the excuse being used by U.S. Soccer on the event that was to be held in Russia, and it’s false.

The U.S., meanwhile, was very much invited to host the FIFA tournament. It has already played in a number of the tournaments that take place throughout the year, from the Women’s World Cup to the men’s World Cup.
