City of Miami Chairwoman and District Five Commissioner Christine King is inviting local entrepreneurs to participate in a FIFA World Cup 2026 Small Business Opportunities Workshop, a free event designed to help Miami’s small business community benefit from the global economic impact of FIFA Fan Fest and next year’s tournament.
“FIFA World Cup 2026 is going to be a massive economic driver for Miami, and our small business community deserves a piece of the pie, especially at FIFA Fan Fest leading up to the main event,” said Chairwoman King.
The workshop, hosted by FIFA in partnership with Verizon, will provide strategies, resources, and networking opportunities for local merchants preparing for the influx of visitors and activity surrounding the World Cup events.
Speakers will include prominent business and community leaders: Alina Hudak, President & CEO of the Miami World Cup Host Committee; Alfred Sanchez, President & CEO of the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce; Myrna Sonora, Vice President for South Florida at Prospera USA; and Sharon Lee Thony, Founder & CEO of SLT Consulting.
The initiative aligns with FIFA’s commitment to inclusive economic growth and local participation during the World Cup festivities.
