Civic groups partner to help Kansas City businesses find projects for World Cup [Video]

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If all goes to plan, when the Kansas City area welcomes fans from across the world during the FIFA 2026 World Cup, the benefits of hosting teams and matches in Kansas City will be shared with everyone.

Recently, the greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce announced a partnership with KC2026 to create a World Cup Business Interest Form.

The form will allow businesses to answer a couple of quick questions and puts them in line to be made aware of business opportunities connected to the World Cup.

GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium will host six World Cup matches — including a quarterfinal match — but the World Cup’s footprint will be regional as the area is also slated to serve as base camps for three national teams, including two on the Kansas side of the region.
