BofA Scores With Historic Global Sponsorship for 2026 FIFA World Cup

Published on August 26, 2024

Snapshot: Bank of America has been announced as FIFA’s first-ever global banking sponsor for the 2026 World Cup, a landmark deal as the tournament expands to 48 teams and is hosted across three countries. 

This sponsorship is particularly notable within the banking industry, where global sponsorships are rare due to the typically localized focus of financial institutions. 

Bank of America’s previous sports partnerships include Major League Baseball and the Boston and Chicago Marathons, but the FIFA deal represents its largest sports investment to date. The sponsorship reflects the bank's commitment to community engagement and international presence, aligning with FIFA's goals following recent organizational reforms.

Key Quote: “Football connects the world like no other sport. FIFA World Cup 26 is a tremendous opportunity to celebrate the pursuit of excellence and how we deliver for our clients, teammates and the communities we serve across the U.S. and around the world.” Brian Moynihan, Chief Executive, Bank of America
