FIFA will use Kennedy Center free of charge for World Cup event: Report

FIFA will occupy Kennedy Center spaces rent-free for nearly three weeks in preparation for the 2026 World Cup draw, displacing scheduled events amid a 50% ticket sales drop, reports say.

  • 1- FIFA will not pay a rental fee to use large sections of the Kennedy Center for nearly three weeks for the 2026 World Cup draw, forcing postponements of multiple scheduled performances. 2- National Symphony Orchestra concerts between 24 November and 12 December have been delayed as the centre faces disruption amid a sharp drop in ticket sales earlier this year. 3- While FIFA covering only production costs is not unprecedented, the free-use arrangement marks a shift for the Kennedy Center, which normally charges outside groups to rent its spaces.
