Kansas City is a host city, but not DC. Lol I understand that they have a stronger MLS team but cmon, which international team wants to play matches in Kansas City? Which country’s fans wanna travel there?

The US Soccer Federation has made a sort of second home in KC, there’s a new training facility there for the national teams and Arrowhead (I’m told) is a good venue for soccer in addition to their soccer-specific stadium

Excluding Kansas City would have been a middle finger to the entire middle part of the country. If you remove KC from this map there is an enormous swath of the continent that would have been left out of hosting.
