"Schloessman has been preparing for that big deal for most of the last eight years. Together with the local host committee and civic leaders, she helped secure eight games for SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, set up fanfests throughout the region, organized public transportation, found training centers for visiting teams and worked to establish a legacy program that will ensure the tournament's influence continues well beyond the final match."
"Friday's World Cup tournament draw will accelerate Los Angeles' planning for the global event, with eight games secured for SoFi Stadium. The tournament is projected to deliver $594 million in economic benefit to Los Angeles County-more than double the 2022 Super Bowl's impact. Organizers are preparing massive fan festivals, transportation infrastructure and security measures to welcome millions of visitors."
Los Angeles will intensify preparations after the World Cup tournament draw, leveraging eight confirmed matches at SoFi Stadium. Local organizers have spent eight years securing venues, arranging fan festivals, coordinating public transportation, identifying training centers, and creating a legacy program to extend the tournament's benefits beyond the competition. The event is expected to generate about $594 million in economic benefit for Los Angeles County, more than twice the impact of the 2022 Super Bowl. FIFA's draw will assign 48 teams to groups and determine which teams and match dates will come to Los Angeles, prompting accelerated logistics, security, and tourism planning.
