LOS ANGELES - Following the Final Draw for the FIFA World Cup 2026™, the full tournament match schedule is now finalized, marking a major milestone on the road to the biggest FIFA World Cup in history. To celebrate this moment, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass today joined the first "Grow the Game of Soccer" coaching clinic, a legacy program of the Los Angeles World Cup 2026 Host Committee, in collaboration with the Play Equity Fund, that will bring together the region's professional soccer clubs, Cal South, the Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission and local soccer stakeholders to elevate skills, build confidence and spark a lifelong passion for the game. Mayor Bass is committed to ensuring that upcoming major sporting events leave a lasting legacy for Angelenos, including bolstered access to youth sports, increased economic opportunity for local and small businesses and investment into Los Angeles's civic infrastructure.

"In just six months, L.A. will welcome the world when we host eight incredible matches that showcase the world's best athletes, unite our diverse neighborhoods and boost our local economy," said Mayor Bass."This will undoubtedly be the best FIFA World Cup yet, bringing the entire world together in the name of soccer. Los Angeles is a hub for culture, community and competition and our city will shine on the world stage in 2026 and beyond."

"With the match schedule now set, Inglewood proudly prepares to welcome the world," said Mayor of Inglewood James T. Butts Jr."Knowing that Belgium, Iran, New Zealand, Paraguay, Switzerland, the United States, and the two teams that qualify through the European Play-Off will take the field, gives our community a direct connection to this incredible moment. The excitement, the energy, and the international attention coming to Inglewood will be felt long after the final whistle."

"The Final Draw for the FIFA World Cup 2026 and schedule release have officially set the stage for L.A.'s five group-stage matches, including the U.S. Men's National Team's opening match against Paraguay on June 12, 2026," said Kathryn Schloessman, CEO of the Los Angeles World Cup 2026 Host Committee. "We look forward to welcoming Belgium, Iran, New Zealand, Paraguay, Switzerland, the United States, the European Play-Off winners of groups A and C, and soccer fans from around the world, as we invite them to begin their World Cup experience here in Los Angeles. It will be a tremendous opportunity to showcase our region."

"When Stan Kroenke set out to build our transformative stadium, it was with the goal of bringing the biggest global events and all the economic and community benefits that result to Los Angeles, Inglewood and this entire region," said Kevin Demoff, Los Angeles Rams President. "The release of the FIFA World Cup 2026 match schedule marks another incredible milestone on the road to hosting the largest single-sport event in history.
