During the three-year collaboration, Airbnb will serve as an Official Partner for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025\u2122, an Official Supporter for the FIFA World Cup 26\u2122 in North America and an Official Supporter for the FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup 2027\u2122 in the Americas. In addition, Airbnb will offer Official Fan Accommodation on its platform for these three flagship FIFA tournaments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe World Cup brings the world together\u00a0\u2013\u00a0and so do we. Airbnb is proud to collaborate with FIFA to offer fans once-in-a-lifetime experiences during the tournaments, while welcoming hundreds of thousands of guests during the FIFA World Cup 26 and producing a meaningful economic impact for local communities,\u201d said Airbnb Chief Executive Officer Brian Chesky.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to welcome Airbnb to FIFA, and we\u2019re thrilled that it is taking on such a key role in the three groundbreaking tournaments coming up,\u201d added FIFA President Gianni Infantino.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe FIFA Club World Cup 2025 will be a defining competition for generations to come and will reshape global club football. Meanwhile, the FIFA World Cup 26 will be the biggest tournament in history, with 48 national teams competing across three host nations. Then, one year later, the FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup will be held in South America for the first time. Having a travel leader such as Airbnb by our side is special. Together, we\u2019ll continue to see football unite the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unique travel and football experiences<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Across the partnership, Airbnb will offer fans new ways to celebrate their passion for the game through travel, culture and connection. In addition to choosing from a wide range of affordable, high-quality places to stay, guests can now explore Airbnb Experiences led by locals that spotlight regional traditions, hidden gems and the spirit of the Host Cities. From immersive cultural activities to opportunities to engage with football legends and experts through Airbnb Originals, Airbnb will help fans create unforgettable memories that go far beyond the matches.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the thousands of experiences already available on the platform, starting today, fans can join a private training session with American goalkeeping icon Tim Howard, watch a FIFA Club World Cup\u2122 game in the stands alongside Howard\u2019s fellow US national-team legend Cobi Jones or get behind the scenes with an in-depth pre-match analysis session hosted by a senior expert from FIFA\u2019s Technical Study Group.<\/p>\n<p>These are available to book starting today and will take place during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, which kicks off this Saturday, 14\u00a0June, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. More experiences will be released ahead of the FIFA World Cup 26 and the FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup 2027.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSoccer has the power to bring people together in unforgettable ways,\u201d said Howard, one of the greatest American players of all time and host of an exclusive Airbnb Experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPartnering with Airbnb and FIFA to offer the experience of a private training session has been incredibly special. It\u2019s a chance to share my love for the game and connect with fans in a hands-on, meaningful way. They won\u2019t just be watching from the stands: they\u2019ll step onto the pitch, get a behind-the-scenes look at pro training and experience the sport from a whole new perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Economic impact for local communities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With less than a year now to go until the FIFA World Cup 26, the global excitement continues to build, with a record number of fans expected to travel to support their teams. According to a Deloitte study commissioned by Airbnb, over 380,000 Airbnb guests alone are expected to travel for next year\u2019s showpiece event, including more than 150,000 from the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Airbnb\u2019s partnership with FIFA for the FIFA World Cup 26 represents an unprecedented opportunity for local communities. According to Deloitte, Airbnb stays during the FIFA World Cup\u00a026 are expected to contribute USD\u00a03.6\u00a0billion to Host City economies.<\/p>\n<p>Across the 16 Host Cities, Airbnb hosts could earn up to USD\u00a0210\u00a0million, highlighting the significant economic opportunities created by hosting during major events.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Airbnb will contribute to broader local economic development by generating an estimated equivalent of nearly 34,000 full-time jobs over the course of 2026 through guests\u2019 and employees\u2019 spending and intermediary activities along the supply chain. Airbnb stays have a widespread economic impact by dispersing tourism-related expenditure into local coffee shops, restaurants and small businesses in neighbourhoods that often lack traditional tourist infrastructure. This critical investment in communities creates lasting benefits that will extend beyond the three forthcoming tournaments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m proud to support Houston, the city I\u2019ve called home for the past seven years, in welcoming a surge of visitors from around the world for the FIFA World Cup. By showcasing our local culture and hospitality\u00a0\u2013\u00a0including steering guests to Houston\u2019s culinary mash-ups: think melt\u2011in\u2011your\u2011mouth brisket tacos and Asian\u2011inspired barbecue\u00a0\u2013\u00a0I can play my part in ensuring that the economic benefits of this once-in-a-lifetime event are felt across our entire Houston community,\u201d said Airbnb host S\u00e9bastien Long.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Introducing the Airbnb Host City Impact Program<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Airbnb will also implement the Airbnb Host City Impact Program, a separate, targeted USD\u00a05\u00a0million investment for the FIFA World Cup 26. Airbnb\u2019s dedicated community support programme will involve collaborating with Host Cities to fund select initiatives that foster economic growth and enhance the overall event experience for residents and visitors alike.<\/p>\n<p>Source: FIFA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>12 June, 2025&#8211; Airbnb and FIFA have announced a major partnership spanning three tournaments, which is set to deliver unforgettable travel experiences for fans, alongside economic opportunities for local communities and valuable support for Host Cities.
