Our Team
The Bay Area Host Committee (BAHC) was founded in 2022 with a single mission: to unite the Bay Area through sport by building pride, connecting communities, and reenergizing the entire region.
With support from the area’s preeminent leaders and professional sports teams—including Bay FC, the Golden State Warriors, the Golden State Valkyries, the San Francisco 49ers, the San Francisco Giants, the San Jose Earthquakes and the San Jose Sharks—the BAHC is bringing the best to the Bay while celebrating the diversity, innovation, and fandom that make the region unique.
The BAHC is proud to contribute to the Bay Area’s legacy by hosting legendary athletes, world-class sporting events, and global fan bases in the region’s most iconic venues—and is ready to show the world what the Bay is made of.
