Suzanne Rowan Kelleher
Summary
Kansas City has emerged as a major winner in the 2026 World Cup by securing three of the top 10 FIFA-ranked teams (Argentina, England, and the Netherlands) as base camps. While host cities typically get the tourism spotlight, base camps like Kansas City may attract significant international fan traffic. The city's non-profit World Cup organizing committee, KC2026, intentionally marketed the city as the "base camp capital of the world" to maximize economic and tourism opportunities from the event.
