The Los Angeles host committee for the 2026 FIFA World Cup projects an economic impact of over $500 million for the Southern California region.

LAFC plans to promote its players participating in the World Cup by creating send-off events and working with local media to tell their stories.

The Los Angeles host committee strategically focused its bid on hosting the opening matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup rather than the final.

SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles will host eight matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, including the opening game for the U.S. men's national team.

LAFC believes there is a significant market opportunity to convert Los Angeles-based fans of Mexico's Liga MX into followers of Major League Soccer.
