FIFA has announced Bank of America as its first-ever global banking sponsor for the 2026 World Cup, set to be hosted by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. This partnership marks FIFA's first major U.S. sponsorship since the 2015 corruption scandal, which had deterred American companies from associating with the organization. The deal also includes sponsorship for the Club World Cup in 2025. Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan emphasized the global and community engagement opportunities that the partnership offers. FIFA President Gianni Infantino highlighted the alignment of Bank of America's community values with FIFA's goals, calling it a significant milestone in the organization's ongoing efforts to rebuild trust and grow the sport globally.
