Economic Opportunities: FIFA World Cup 26™

FIFA World Cup 26

The FIFA World Cup 26™ presents an incredible range of opportunities for local Burnaby businesses to get involved and benefit from one of the world’s largest sporting events. Businesses can sell goods and services to major event organizers such as the City of Vancouver and BC Pavilion Corporation by exploring open opportunities listed under the WC26 category. There are also procurement opportunities with FIFA itself, spanning areas like infrastructure, catering, food and beverage concessions, cleaning and waste management, private security, and furniture supply. Local retailers can participate by becoming licensed sellers of official FIFA World Cup 26™ merchandise or by offering official products in their stores. In addition, businesses can elevate their visibility by becoming a Host City Supporter or Champion, or by engaging in innovation-driven collaborations by pitching creative ideas and solutions that enhance the tournament experience through the FIFA Innovation Portal.
