When Los Angeles hosts eight matches for FIFA World Cup 2026™ - Canada, Mexico and the United States, including the U.S. Men’s National Team opening match, the region can expect to reap economic benefits far beyond any event held in recent years, according to a new report issued by Micronomics Economic Research and Consulting.     Projections show the L.A. region can expect $594 million in economic impact generated by the historic 39-day-long tournament and more than a quarter of a billion dollars in increased wages for employees in Southern California.     “Major sporting events are powerful economic engines with impact that goes far beyond the stadium walls,” said Kathryn S. Schloessman, President & CEO, Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission and FIFA World Cup 26 Los Angeles™ Host City Manager. “The surge in tourism connected to the FIFA World Cup 26 will be felt by the entire region, creating demand for local businesses, accelerating the need for job training and hiring, and serving as a lasting catalyst for economic activity in our hospitality, transportation, retail and entertainment sectors.”    To read the full summary visit LosAngelesFWC26.com.
