Philadelphia Soccer 2026: Local Organizing Committee

Philadelphia Soccer 2026, the 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving as the local host committee for the FIFA World Cup 26, has opened media accreditation and fan registration.

The organization is charged with the planning and execution of the tournament’s operations within Philadelphia. As part of the preparations for the international event, the committee has established processes for both media professionals and supporters to engage with the upcoming tournament.

The opening of media accreditation allows journalists and news organizations to apply for the credentials required to cover the matches and related events in the city. This process is a standard component of the operational rollout for FIFA World Cup host cities to manage press access and logistics.

In addition to media access, the committee has launched a registration system for fans. This registration is intended to provide supporters with a direct channel for updates and information as the tournament approaches.

The local hosting strategy includes the organization of a Fan Festival, which is designed to provide a dedicated space for supporters to gather and participate in activities surrounding the FIFA World Cup 26.

Philadelphia serves as one of the host cities for the FIFA World Cup 26, an event organized by FIFA that will take place across North America.
