Kansas City Mayor Q Celebrates World Cup 2026 Schedule

Our quick takeaway . . .

For soccer fans, this is a victory for Kansas City and four of these teams have legions of fans who SHOULD give our cowtown an important economic boost. 

For everyone else . . .  

This will mean a couple weeks of traffic jams and a local news cycle filled with endless propaganda.  

The obligatory quote from Mayor Q: 

"We’re thrilled to welcome the countries and fans coming to Kansas City for the 2026 FIFA World Cup!
Argentina, Algeria, Ecuador, Curaçao, Tunisia, the Netherlands, and Austria will experience Kansas City’s world-class hospitality as we host the beautiful game on the world’s biggest stage. Let’s go!!!"
