Multiple sources confirmed Tuesday that Las Vegas will serve as the location for the 2026 World Cup draw ceremony on December 5. ESPN and TUDN Mexico both reported the selection of the city for the expanded 48-team tournament. The United States, Canada, and Mexico will jointly host the competition that features 12 groups with four nations each. Officials initially considered The Sphere as a potential venue, but sources later ruled out the 17,500-seat arena that opened in 2023. Las Vegas previously hosted the 1994 World Cup draw ceremony despite not serving as a match venue.
The decision mirrors the approach taken three decades ago when organizers selected Las Vegas for the draw without designating it as a host city for actual games...

Government officials exempted Ingwebu Breweries from standard public procurement regulations through a special dispensation. The municipal brewery can purchase goods and services without following strict guidelines that govern local authorities and state agencies.
