The initiative seeks to capitalize on the 2026 FIFA World Cup by positioning the brand's venues as primary destinations for soccer enthusiasts. By integrating match-day experiences with its hospitality offerings, the company aims to attract a global sporting audience to its U.S. locations [1], [2].
The program features a series of events designed to bring the tournament to life through the use of big screens and cold beer [1]. These gatherings are scheduled for the summer of 2026, aligning with the timing of the FIFA World Cup [1], [3].
