The Home Depot is honored to join the Atlanta World Cup Host Committee (AWCHC) as a Host City Supporter for the FIFA World Cup 2026™, expanding the company's presence around the tournament and deepening its longstanding commitment to the Atlanta community.
“We have deep roots in Atlanta, and The Home Depot still looks back with pride on our involvement in the 1996 Summer Olympics, which helped transform our business from a regional brand into a national name. Supporting the World Cup here in Atlanta is another proud milestone and a way for us to engage with our communities and celebrate a moment that unites people across borders.” - Allison Kolber, Vice President of Integrated Media at The Home Depot
With more than 2,000 stores across North America and corporate headquarters based in Atlanta, The Home Depot is uniquely positioned to celebrate the spirit of the tournament and is committed to creating meaningful moments for customers, fans, and employees through programming including World Cup-themed Kids Workshops, interactive fan activations, and associate engagement and volunteering.

With Atlanta set to host eight matches, including three knockout-stage games, the city will take center stage, and The Home Depot will be there to help welcome the world.
