Local World Cup event coordination

A soccer ball flies into a net.

The World Cup will be the biggest sporting event in history. Kansas City, Missouri, holds an important leadership role as a host city, and the magnitude of this event will touch every community in our region and beyond. 

KC2026 is a nonprofit organization comprised of public and private leaders in Kansas and Missouri tasked with planning and implementing World Cup matches and events in Kansas City.

MARC and other civic organizations are working with KC2026 to deliver a world-class experience. MARC will provide support for key elements of the host duties, including bringing local elected officials, staff and others together to coordinate around these areas:

  • Emergency preparedness and homeland security
  • Housing
  • Public information and communication
  • Sustainability and human rights
  • Transportation
