In the summer of 2026, the Bay Area will play host to 6 FIFA World Cup™ matches in the Bay Area. Our communities will benefit from unprecedented exposure, visitors, and economic impact, creating lasting memories for years. It is an exciting time to be in the Bay!

The Bay Area Host Committee, the non-profit organization tasked with operating the tournament in our region, would love for you to be a part of bringing this event to life locally. FIFA, the governing body for international soccer, has requested that all host cities submit a Host City Poster Design. The poster will be on sale to the public and will be used in marketing and promotional materials for FIFA World Cup 26.

The goal of this project is to promote the excitement and awareness for the tournament as well as celebrate the culture and diversity of the Bay. Essentially, it is an avenue for each Host City to express their uniqueness through art.

Please read all the details below carefully!

• $2,500 cash prize
