Economic Impact in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania

This is a once in a generation opportunity to promote and advance our city, region and state to countless individuals. The real economic impact it will have is both massive and vast. As we have said from the outset, the rising tide of the FIFA World Cup 26™ will impact and uplift all aspects of our economy and communities.

We competed for this event; we invited the FIFA World Cup 26™ to Philadelphia; now we as a community must rise to this occasion, fully embrace its potential, and deliver for all of Pennsylvania.
