vibrant celebrations of culture, inclusion, and regional pride
As Greater Boston prepares to welcome the world for the 2026 FIFA World Cup™ at Boston Stadium, the Boston 2026 Host Committee invites communities across New England to be part of this historic moment. Founded to unite the region through sport and ensure the World Cup’s impact reaches every neighborhood, the Host Committee believes everyone — from small businesses and restaurants to artists, nonprofits, and municipalities — has a role to play. This playbook offers guidance for hosting local fan events (separate from the FIFA Fan Festival at Government Center) that bring the energy of the World Cup into streets, public spaces, and neighborhood venues, creating vibrant celebrations of culture, inclusion, and regional pride that leave a lasting legacy for our communities.
