IRVINE, Calif.—The Irvine City Council voted on April 26 to allow the Great Park Sports Complex to be used as a training site for the 2026 Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) World Cup.

Given that FIFA is in the final stages of selecting the host cities for the 2026 games, the City of Los Angeles is one of the 23 candidates under consideration for the cup, according to an Irvine city document.
