Last week, FIFA announced the publishing of the bid books for the 2026 FIFA World Cup on fifa.com. The published bid books include in chapter 23 summaries of the human rights strategies provided by the bidders. The strategies are informed and complemented by an independent human rights context analysis.

The underlying requirements for the bid book are grounded in the UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights and outlined in a document that was published in November 2017 (p. 26-29). The overall guide to the bidding and bid selection is also available on FIFA's website.

United 2026, the bid committee comprised of Canada, Mexico and the United States, has since released seven supplemental reports including its proposal for a Human Rights Strategy and an independent assessment on human rights in Canada, Mexico and the USA that accompanied its proposal to FIFA, which FIFA had not made available.
