Atlanta was built to host. The Olympics, the Super Bowl, the College Football Playoff — and now, six group-stage matches and a Round of 32 fixture of FIFA World Cup 26™.
Mercedes-Benz Stadium — a stadium whose roof opens like a camera shutter — sits at the heart of a downtown that's quietly become the cultural capital of the American South. Trap music, the world's busiest airport, MLK's church, Killer Mike's barber shop.
When the world arrives, Atlanta won't whisper. The South has something to say. We are 26.
