The Bay Area is preparing to welcome millions of soccer fans for the FIFA World Cup in 2026. Local businesses, such as Jack’s sports bar in San Jose, are optimistic about the economic boost the event will bring. Jordan Trigg, the owner of Jack’s, expressed excitement about the influx of customers expected during the tournament. Similarly, El Farolito, a popular taqueria in San Francisco’s Mission District, anticipates increased sales of its traditional burritos and tacos. During previous World Cups, El Farolito served as a gathering spot for soccer enthusiasts, even during early morning matches. The Bay Area Host Committee estimates the tournament could generate between $480 million and $630 million in regional revenue. This global event not only promises excitement and great food but also presents a significant economic opportunity for local businesses in the Bay Area.
