Why HWC 2026 Club

This Is Not a Billboard.
This Is a Relationship With Every Fan.

FIFA official sponsors (Visa, Adidas, Coca-Cola) own the stadium. We own what happens outside it β€” the food tours, the watch parties, the day trips, the rooftop bars, the cultural experiences that fans will actually remember and talk about.

When a German fan flies into Houston for the June 14 opener, books your brand’s sponsored brewery tour, posts it to Instagram, and tags 11 friends at home β€” that is not impressions. That is a relationship. That is earned media. That is the one thing a stadium banner cannot buy.

Category exclusivity is absolute. One airline. One energy brand. One bank. One hotel group. One beer. One spirits brand. Once your category is claimed, no competitor touches our platform for the duration of the tournament.

Tier 1 Packages

The highest-value sponsorship on this platform. One brand owns the complete fan experience for an entire national fanbase. Language-specific, culturally curated, first-party data ownership.

πŸ‡³πŸ‡±
Own the Dutch
June 20 Β· Netherlands vs. Ukraine/Sweden/Poland

The Netherlands is Houston’s #1 international trading partner ($32.7B). Het Oranje Legioen is one of the world’s largest organized fan clubs. These fans are not tourists β€” they are Houston’s most important international business relationships.

πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ
Own the Germans
June 14 Β· Germany vs. CuraΓ§ao (OPENER)

Germany is Houston’s 6th-largest trading partner ($16.1B). German fans are high-spend, organized, and deeply invested in their team’s performance. The tournament opener creates maximum arrival momentum.

$25,000
Includes: German-language fan guide, co-branded welcome package, brewery/food experience activation, match day branding, WhatsApp community, data access

πŸ‡²πŸ‡½
Own the Mexicans
Multiple matches Β· Largest proximity audience

Mexico’s fan base is the largest in Houston. 3–4 hour drive from northern Mexico. Houston’s Mexican-American community is 1.5 million strong. Spanish-language activation required β€” and this segment drives the highest volume transactions on our platform.

$30,000

πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Ή
Own the Portuguese
June 17 + June 23 Β· 2 Houston matches

Portugal plays twice in Houston. Ronaldo fans drive the highest resale ticket prices in the Houston secondary market β€” $700+ per ticket as of December 2025. These fans stay longer, spend more, and create more content than any other nationality.

$20,000
Includes: Portuguese-language fan guide, 2-match-day co-branding, food/culture experience activation, social media, data access

πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¦
Own the Gulf
June 26 Β· Cabo Verde vs. Saudi Arabia
