The excitement of the FIFA World Cup 2026™ will extend far beyond the stadium. Centennial Olympic Park will become the official home of the FIFA Fan Festival™ Atlanta, transforming one of the city’s most iconic public spaces into a lively gathering place where fans, families, and visitors come together to celebrate the game. Hosted by the City of Atlanta and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority (GWCCA), the festival will run for an initial 16 days during the tournament.

Hosting the FIFA Fan Festival™ in Centennial Olympic Park carries special meaning. In 2026, the park marks 30 years since it first welcomed the world during the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. With deep roots in Atlanta’s global legacy, civil rights history, and community pride, the park will once again welcome fans from near and far — creating a festival that feels like a small town in the middle of a global event, where Southern hospitality makes visitors feel welcome
