OPPORTUNITY
The United Bid features a network of
existing airports and related facilities
that include some of the busiest,
highest capacity, and most modern
facilities in the world.
With air travel serving as the primary entry
point for fans traveling to North America from
abroad, and the most convenient direct option
for fans to move between many of
the Candidate Host Cities, this network
ensures reliable and convenient support for
players and officials, fans, media, partners,
and everyone else traveling in connection with
the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The majority of the Candidate Host Cities
are served by two or more major national
or international-class airports. All cities are
served by multiple Fixed Base Operator
(FBO) airports that will cater to team
and VIP arrivals. Each is linked with
a range of public and private ground
transportation systems.
In accordance with the FIFA Airport
Agreement, the United Bid will provide on-site
fan services and support in airport terminals,
with further support using digital media
platforms to extend the direct, live, and
intelligent next generation travel experience
across the three Host Countries and
Candidate Host Cities. Each airport will
feature prominent welcome and information
desks, as well as specific signage and decor
ensure a consistent message at all
transportation hubs. All signage and
announcements will be presented in multiple
languages, and volunteers will be equipped
to provide support and guidance to fans from
all participating countries. FIFA World Cup
accredited guests will be greeted and directed
to special loading zones to provide the highest
level of guest experience available.
Each of our airports is already equipped
with the latest security and screening
capabilities. Further, each of our Host
Countries will work with the relevant
government agencies and stakeholders
across the Candidate Host Cities to deploy
staff at all international arrival locations to
facilitate easy access procedures. Assistance
and information teams will be on site to help
resolve any entry-related issues and
expedite the customs and immigration
entry process for FIFA representatives
and the team delegations.
In addition to the existing airport capacity
offered by the Candidate Host Cities, many of
the airports have upgrades and/or expansions
planned or already underway. Any major
upgrades that are underway or planned
between now and 2026 have been
highlighted. In addition to increased capacity,
these improvements include maintenance,
operational safety, support facility
