AT&T Stadium in Arlington was named as one of the 16 locations that will host games for the tournament.
On Thursday morning, locals leaders launched their official brand for the 2026 World Cup: #WeAreDallas.
"It's going to take our entire region to be successful in 2026," said Monica Paul from the Dallas Sports Commission. "This should be an opportunity to really welcome the world and have that international exposure." The Dallas Sports Commission believes that the games will create an estimated 3,000 new jobs and $400 million in economic impact.Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is planning to spend close to $300 million to upgrade AT&T Stadium in Arlington ahead of the FIFA World Cup in four years.
"FIFA is looking at these iconic venues around the U.S. to host the semi-finals and finals and when you look at AT&T stadium, the size of the crowd, the revenue it generates, it's an architectural masterpiece, I think that all plays into this," said Dan Hunt, the President of FC Dallas.The Dallas Sports Commission previously told FOX 4 they were hopeful to host 5 to 7 games.
