Brand Activation Β· World Cup 2026 Houston
Own a Nation.
500,000 Fans. One City. 85 Days.
FIFA spends billions getting fans to Houston. We’re the platform that curates what they do when they get here. Your brand is the first thing they see, eat, drink, and experience.
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
Own a Nation.
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.
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.
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.
Mexico’s fan base is the largest in Houston. 3β4 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.
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.
Saudi and Gulf Cooperation Council fans represent the highest per-person spend segment at this tournament. Houston’s energy sector has deep Gulf relationships. Premium concierge experiences β private dining, spa, VIP transport β are this audience’s baseline expectation.
