As part of its commitment to creating a lasting community legacy throughout the Los Angeles region, the Los Angeles World Cup 2026 Host Committee announced a new initiative that will provide 600 individuals — primarily youth from underserved communities across Los Angeles — with unforgettable FIFA World Cup 2026™ experiences.
Through the generosity of local supporters and community partners including Bob Graziano and Wendy Wachtell, Jeanie Buss, the Stephen and Regina Oswald Foundation, the Greg and Patty Penske family and California Resources Corporation, participants selected through the Host Committee’s network of 26 Community Champion organizations will have the opportunity to experience the excitement and inspiration of the world’s largest single-sport event firsthand.
Experiences will include:
- Attending a FIFA World Cup 2026™ match in Los Angeles
- Visiting the Official FIFA Fan Festival™ Los Angeles at the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum
- Participating in a special opportunity to play on the stadium pitch following the conclusion of the tournament
The initiative reflects the Host Committee’s belief that FIFA World Cup 2026™ should create meaningful opportunities for communities across the region while ensuring young people from every neighborhood have the chance to participate in this historic global moment.
