The “Fan-ID” Pass

A digital credential that acts as a temporary multi-entry visa for the US, Canada, and Mexico, allowing for biometric “walk-through” checkpoints at major airports.

Regional Rail Hubs

Enhanced high-speed links in the Northeast Corridor (NYC-Philly-Boston) and the newly inaugurated “Bajío Express” in Mexico will move 50,000 fans daily.

Dedicated Sky-Ways

FIFA has partnered with major carriers to create “Point-to-Point” flight paths between host cities, bypassing traditional layover hubs to reduce travel time by up to 35%.

The “Triple-Host” Challenge

With 104 matches scheduled, the 2026 World Cup is the largest in history. To manage the load, FIFA has grouped host cities into three regional pods: **East, Central, and West**. Teams and fans will remain within their assigned pods during the group stages to minimize the carbon footprint and travel fatigue.

The **Central Pod** (featuring Dallas, Houston, and Mexico City) will see the highest volume of ground transport, while the **West Pod** (Vancouver, Seattle, LA) will debut zero-emission electric bus fleets to ferry supporters between venues.
