FIFA World Cup 2026

The Puyallup people – known as “generous and welcoming” – have lived along the shores of Salish Sea since time immemorial, shaping the land, spirit, and story of this region. Soccer, the world’s game, transcends borders and brings people together in shared celebration.

In 2026, the Puyallup Tribe and FIFA will come together to welcome the world to Seattle for the World Cup.

This partnership marks a historic first: the first time an Indigenous nation will be formally represented at the World Cup.

As we welcome visitors in 2026, we invite them not only to witness world-class soccer, but to experience the enduring presence, generosity, and resilience of the Puyallup people.
