This bill authorizes the U.S. Treasury to mint and sell commemorative coins to honor the FIFA World Cup 2026, which will be held across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The coins come in three types: up to 100,000 gold $5 coins, 500,000 silver $1 coins, and 750,000 half-dollar clad coins, each featuring soccer-themed designs selected by the Treasury in consultation with FIFA organizers and the Commission of Fine Arts. The coins will be sold during a one-year period beginning January 1, 2026, at prices covering their face value, production costs, and surcharges of $35 per gold coin, $10 per silver coin, and $5 per half-dollar coin. All surcharge revenue, which could total several million dollars, will be directed to FWC2026 US, Inc., a FIFA organization, to support U.S.-based soccer programs with a focus on youth and underserved communities. The bill includes safeguards requiring the Treasury to recover all costs before paying any funds to the FIFA organization and mandating financial audits to ensure proper use of the surcharge money.
