Overview
In August 2025, the National Operations Center of Excellence (NOCoE) convened a peer exchange in Atlanta, GA focused on operational preparedness for the FIFA World Cup 2026. The event brought together transportation, operations, and emergency management leaders from multiple host cities, alongside representatives from FIFA Mobility Operations.
Participants discussed how Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO) principles can guide safe, reliable, and coordinated travel for millions of visitors. Through site tours, city presentations, and round-table discussions, agencies identified best practices, each essential for ensuring smooth mobility during one of the largest sporting events ever held in North America. These practices and learnings build upon the discussion at NOCoE’s October 2024 WC26 Mobility Peer Exchange, held in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
