RESOLUTION

Honoring the tremendous effort undertaken by the good people of Kansas 
City, Missouri, Kansas, and surrounding communities in getting the 
heartland ready for the World Cup.

Whereas the World Cup is the most popular international sporting event, drawing 
the attention of 6 billion viewers worldwide;
Whereas the 2026 World Cup is the largest tournament in history with 104 
matches, 48 teams with games to be staged in 3 countries;
Whereas Kansas City is the smallest United States city of 11 to be selected, yet 
quickly established itself as ``Soccer Capital of America'', due to its 
outstanding facilities, excellent hospitality and great central 
location;
Whereas Kansas City offers players and fans alike an outstanding location in 
which to enjoy the games; and
Whereas first responders, public works, transportation officials, and volunteers 
have all worked diligently to provide a safe, clean and accessible 
environment, which guests and locals can enjoy a fun and entertaining 
time: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) honors the dedication and hard work and effort of all 
the Kansas City and surrounding Missouri and Kansas communities 
for creating an outstanding environment to house such an event;
(2) recognizes the difficulty and extraordinary effort 
required to undertake putting together such an event;
(3) affirms the commitment to the American people that 
global events will not always be housed in American megacities; 
and
(4) commends the small businesses, teams, schools, 
volunteers, and officials for their dedication to their city in 
welcoming the world.
