Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This resolution honors the Kansas City area, including surrounding communities in Missouri and Kansas, for preparing to host games during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Kansas City was selected as the smallest of eleven U.S. cities chosen to host World Cup matches, and the resolution recognizes the extensive efforts by local government, first responders, volunteers, businesses, and schools to ready the region for the event. The resolution notes that the 2026 World Cup will be the largest tournament in history with 104 matches across 48 teams playing in three countries, and that Kansas City has established itself as the "Soccer Capital of America" due to its facilities, hospitality, and central location. The House of Representatives uses this resolution to affirm its commitment to supporting global sporting events in smaller American cities beyond major metropolitan areas. This is a ceremonial resolution with no direct funding or legislative requirements, simply expressing congressional appreciation for the community's preparation efforts.
