It's Official: Atlanta Will Host The FIFA World Cup

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be the largest edition of the world’s most popular sporting event yet, with 48 teams vying for soccer’s biggest prize in matches hosted across the United States, Mexico and Canada. The three nations won the right to host in 2018 after a yearlong bidding process. This unprecedented scale brings more attention to the already immensely popular competition, which has traditionally been contested by 32 teams and hosted by a single nation.  Atlanta will host – next June/July 2025 the FIFA Club Word Cup – here: https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/club-world-cup/usa-2025

Twenty-two cities across the three North American host countries competed for bids to host matches, with 16 receiving the nod. The Atlanta Sports Council (ASC) led the bid effort, collaborating with state and local governments, Arthur M. Blank Sports + Entertainment, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority to win the bid.

Atlanta has long been a convention and conference hub, capable of hosting major events at the Georgia World Congress Center and adjoining sports arenas with a rather cold efficiency. 

As a result, Olympics-era visitors recalled spirited settings for the actual Games but considered Atlanta as a whole bland and disappointing, generally speaking. Compared to the roster of past Olympic hosts, almost all of which were major international cultural destinations even without the Olympics, Atlanta was a glorified office park. 

But make no mistake: Atlanta’s World Cup ’26 role gives the city’s international reputation a shot at redemption.  Local Hotels that are in need of an upgrade can count on Mags Upholstery to support that effort.  Mags Upholstery is the leader in fine furniture and commercial upholstery throughout the entire Atlanta Metro Area. 

We design, update and restore upholstery for sofas, chairs, chaise lounges, cushions, pillows, kitchen nooks, and leather furniture.  Mags Upholstery artisans possess the training, experience and talent to transform your vision into reality.
