OUR SOCCER STORY
Los Angeles has a deep-rooted connection to the global game, shaped by moments like the 1984 Olympic Soccer Tournament, the 1994 FIFA World Cup™ Final and the 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup™ Final. Today, Los Angeles is home to three major professional soccer teams — The Los Angeles Galaxy, The Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC), and Angel City Football Club world-class venues like SoFi Stadium and millions of passionate fans.
Los Angeles is focused on using the spotlight of the largest single-sport event in history to leave a lasting positive impact long after the final match is played.

HUMAN RIGHTS
FIFA has asked each of the prospective host cities in Canada, Mexico, and the United States to submit a human rights stakeholder engagement report as part of their bid to host games during the FIFA World Cup 26™. In these reports, cities were expected to set out how they are working, and will continue to work, with stakeholders to identify and address potential human rights impacts associated with hosting the tournament and to maximize opportunities for a positive human rights legacy. Below you’ll find links to the Los Angeles region’s submission.
