Colorado leaders launch effort to confirm Denver as host city for the 2026 FIFA World Cup

Following the US women’s national team’s return from another FIFA Women’s World Cup Championship in France, the Colorado Soccer Association, which represents nearly 70,000 youth and adult soccer players across the state, is helping to mobilize a coalition of Colorado leaders and communities to ensure Denver is selected among final host cities for the FIFA Men’s World Cup in 2026.

Colorado Governor Jared Polis and Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock joined representatives from the Colorado Soccer Association, the Colorado Rapids, the Denver Sports Commission, VISIT DENVER and various other community leaders to unveil elements of the campaign designed to generate awareness and community support including a logo, hashtag and website.
