Miami, FL – From logistics and hospitality to federation operations and venue management, these organizations are helping ensure the success of football’s largest event.
When fans think about the FIFA World Cup, they think about legendary goals, packed stadiums, passionate supporters, and the world’s greatest players. What most people never see is the vast network of organizations working behind the scenes to make the tournament possible.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be the largest event in the history of international football. Hosted across the United States, Mexico, and Canada, the tournament will feature 48 national teams, more than 100 matches, dozens of host cities, and millions of spectators traveling throughout North America. The scale of the competition requires an unprecedented level of planning, logistics, hospitality, transportation, venue operations, security coordination, and technology integration.
While the spotlight remains on the players and coaches, a select group of organizations is responsible for ensuring that teams arrive safely, venues operate efficiently, fans enjoy a world-class experience, and every match unfolds without disruption.
Based on their involvement in major international competitions, operational capabilities, industry influence, and contributions to football’s global ecosystem, the following organizations rank among the most important companies helping power the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
1. Rock-it Cargo (United States)
As FIFA’s Official Logistics Provider for the FIFA World Cup 2026 and FIFA Club World Cup, Rock-it Cargo occupies one of the most critical positions in the tournament’s operational structure.
The company is responsible for freight forwarding, customs management, warehousing, transportation of equipment, and logistical coordination across multiple countries and venues. From broadcast infrastructure and team equipment to operational assets and tournament materials, Rock-it Cargo provides the logistical backbone required to support the world’s largest sporting event.
Without organizations such as Rock-it Cargo, the movement of essential equipment and infrastructure across North America would be nearly impossible.
2. On Location (United States)
On Location serves as FIFA’s Official Hospitality Provider and is responsible for delivering premium travel, hospitality, ticketing, and VIP experiences throughout the tournament.
With millions of visitors expected to travel during the World Cup, hospitality management has become one of the most important components of tournament success. The company oversees experiences for sponsors, executives, corporate partners, and fans, helping transform the World Cup into a global destination event.
Its role extends far beyond ticket sales, encompassing the overall experience of many of the tournament’s most influential stakeholders.

The company has worked alongside organizations including the Ecuadorian Football Federation, the Venezuelan Football Federation, the Puerto Rico Football Federation, Club Atlético Talleres, Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield, and other leading football institutions throughout the Americas.
CABAN has also participated in operational environments surrounding Copa América, CONCACAF competitions, elite club events, international friendlies, and preparations associated with the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

While fans will remember the goals, celebrations, and champions of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the tournament’s success will also be shaped by the companies working behind the scenes to make every aspect of the event possible.
