The United States Soccer Federation submitted a bid[1] with the hope of hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup. U.S. Soccer first said in February 2007 that it would put forth a bid for the 2018 World Cup.[1] On January 28, 2009, U.S. Soccer announced that it would submit bids for both the 2018 and 2022 Cups.[2] In October 2010 it withdrew from the 2018 bid process to focus on winning the 2022 edition.[3] On December 2, 2010, it was announced that Qatar would be the host of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[4]
United States 2022 FIFA World Cup bid (the United States)
In April 2009, the U.S. identified 70 stadiums in 50 communities as possible venues for the tournament, with 58 confirming their interest.[12] The list of stadiums was trimmed two months later to 38 existing venues, one scheduled for completion in 2010, and one proposed venue.[10] On August 20, 2009, the list was further trimmed down to 32 stadiums in 27 cities.[13] On January 12, 2010, the USA Bid Committee narrowed the 27 cities down to 18 as the official host cities for the United States' Bid for the 2018 or 2022 World Cup.[14]
Built in 2008 Retractable roof Super Bowl XLVI in 2012, NCAA men's basketball Final Four in 2010 and 2015, NCAA women's basketball Final Four in 2016, DCI World Championship Finals Since 2009 NCAA men's basketball final in 2021
Although sponsored stadium names are listed in this article, they were not used in the actual bid documents, and would not be used during the World Cup. FIFA controls all naming rights related to the World Cup, and generally prohibits the use of such names. Even stadiums that bear the names of FIFA sponsors are subject to this restriction—the venue then known commercially as Coca-Cola Park in Johannesburg was known by its non-commercial name of Ellis Park Stadium during the 2010 World Cup, even though The Coca-Cola Company is one of FIFA's main sponsors.
Capacities listed are estimated capacity for the FIFA World Cup.[14]

The following venues were considered as possible candidate venues but were not chosen to be included in the final bid.[14]
