 Boston has been awarded nearly $47 million in federal funding to support its role in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The city is one of 11 U.S. locations to receive a portion of the $625 million allocated to enhance public safety and operational planning for the international tournament.

Foxborough also approved the necessary event license this week. “This is a defining global moment for Massachusetts, and we're committed to delivering a world-class event that will drive lasting economic and cultural impact across the region,” said Mike Loynd, CEO of the Boston Host Committee.
