On Wednesday, the FIFA World Cup 2026 Commemorative Coin Act led by U.S. Representatives Darin LaHood (R-IL-16), Rick Larsen (D-WA-02), Don Bacon (R-NE-02), and Kathy Castor (D-FL-14), was signed into law. Under this legislation, the Department of the Treasury will now mint coins in commemoration of the FIFA World Cup 2026 at no cost to taxpayers. All proceeds from this process will support soccer programs in the United States, specifically aiding youth programs and programs for underserved communities.
“I was thrilled to see the FIFA World Cup 2026 Commemorative Coin Act signed into law,” said Rep. LaHood. “This legislation will commemorate the largest comprehensive sporting event in our nation’s history, while also supporting youth engagement and elevating soccer – which remains the fastest growing sport – throughout the United States. I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues on the bipartisan Soccer Caucus to ensure the success of the 2026 World Cup.”
“Soccer brings people together, and in 2026, the U.S., Canada and Mexico will host the world’s largest sporting event – the FIFA World Cup,” said Rep. Castor. “I’m thrilled that the bipartisan Soccer Caucus is marking this momentous occasion while raising money to support youth soccer initiatives. We also are ramping up our work with host communities to ensure a safe and memorable 2026 World Cup.”
“I am happy to see H.R.7438, FIFA World Cup 2026 Commemorative Coin Act was signed into law by President Biden,” said Rep. Bacon. “As co-chair of the Congressional Soccer Caucus, I look forward to the United States hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup in 11 cities and its impact on soccer in communities across our nation and our nation’s youth.”
“The FIFA Men’s World Cup is coming to Puget Sound and Seattle in 2026, and a commemorative coin is a great way to celebrate the beautiful game in the Pacific Northwest while supporting youth soccer and underserved communities,” said Rep. Larsen. “I look forward to sharing with the world all that makes the Evergreen State special!”
Representatives LaHood, Castor, Bacon, and Larsen are Co-Chairs of the bipartisan Congressional Soccer Caucus. In 2018, the caucus led a resolution that passed the House to support the United States’ bid to host the 2026 World Cup for the first time in 32 years. This event brings a generational opportunity to support the growth of soccer in the United States and provide substantial economic benefits to communities across the country. The tournament will run from June 11 to July 16, 2026, with 104 matches in 16 cities across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The Soccer Caucus will continue their work to prepare for the 2026 World Cup, which is expected to be the largest sporting event in our country’s history.
