The Seattle Metro Chamber, in partnership with the Seattle Sports Commission, is offering a free webinar on Thursday, May 8, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM to help communities prepare for unofficial FIFA World Cup 2026 (FWC26) viewing parties.
This session will introduce the new Community Watch Party Playbook, a guide designed to help organizations understand FIFA’s viewing party rules, licensing requirements, and event planning best practices. The webinar will simplify the process of securing a license from FIFA and highlight important steps for hosting compliant and engaging watch parties.
Attendees will also hear from the City of Seattle Special Events team, who will offer insight into local permitting and logistical considerations for those planning events within city limits.
Retailers and local organizations outside of official Fan Zones are encouraged to attend and learn how to join in the celebration while staying aligned with regulations.
