In August 2022, the 49ers offered to settle a revenue lawsuit with the city of Santa Clara. Not even a year later, we could be headed toward something similar.
According to the San Jose Mercury News, Santa Clara is “considering legal action” against the 49ers Levi’s Stadium management company. The claim is that the agency “hasn’t turned over critical information to help the city prepare to host” the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Lisa Gillmor, the mayor of Santa Clara, said the 49ers “failed to meet a February 1 deadline set by Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury to provide the city with key documents” related to the upcoming event.
