United Approach to Health and Medical
Systems
The United Bid fully commits all medical and
public health assets necessary to stage the
2026 FIFA World Cup and will work with FIFA
to ensure a safe and successful Competition.
The combined medical and public health
services provided by Canada, Mexico, and
the United States are world-class and the
infrastructure and procedures in place across
our three Host Countries have been
thoroughly tested and used to support major
sporting and other events.
Together, we offer first-class hospitals,
rapid response and emergency medical
operations, specialized clinics, medical
technology innovators, health and wellness
pioneers, and the leading specialists in sports
injury and training. Our three countries also
invest more towards health and medical
innovation than any other region in the world.
In short, players and officials, fans, media
volunteers, and others who participate in the
2026 FIFA World Cup in North America will
have access to the highest standard of
medical care for any and all incidents
and general well-being.
In addition to utilizing all available assets,
the United Bid will work closely with FIFA to:
■■
Develop a blueprint for organizing multination
networks of medical expertise
around the staging of the Competition,
and to support organizers of other major
global sporting events in the future.
■■
Establish a working group of sports
medicine and other specialists to develop
new standard operating procedures for
support around major sporting events
hosted by multiple countries.
■■
Invite and welcome medical experts from
FIFA and the member associations to visit
and train with leading sports medicine
practitioners from our three countries.
United Medical Services Strategy
The United Bid will work with FIFA to establish
a united Medical Services Strategy (MSS)
which will be implemented at all stadiums,
training sites, team hotels, International
Broadcast Center, FIFA venue hotels, and
FIFA Headquarters, as well as at events
staged as part of FIFA’s Football for Hope
activities. This operation will meet all
requirements outlined by FIFA.
To ensure that all functions are coordinated
for maximum quality of care and efficiency,
the United Bid will also integrate the Medical
Services Program with its security and safety,
public health, and transport operations.
The United Bid will dedicate staff to
coordinate and integrate the provision of
medical care at all Competition-related
facilities and provide qualified personnel
necessary to assist in FIFA’s doping control
operation, complying with FIFA’s requirements.
