Team FIFA World Cup 2026 is more than two hundred strong and counting! They are charged with organizing the largest, most inclusive sporting event. The 23rd edition of the quadrennial international men’s soccer championship will bring together 48 national teams from around the globe to play 104 matches in 16 host cities, across Canada, Mexico and the United States, including Miami. It will take place from June 11 to July 19, 2026. “Miami is a thriving hub of football given its central location in the Americas, international appeal and convenient travel – so it makes sense for our team to be based here as we organize the FIFA World Cup 2026 throughout North America, in collaboration with our colleagues in Canada and Mexico,” said Heimo Schirgi, Chief Operating Officer World Cup. “In addition, by locating our '26 headquarters in Coral Gables, our team members, colleagues and guests can enjoy Coral Gables' great downtown area and wide variety of fantastic restaurants and hotels.” #LaborDay #GablesWorkforce #CommunitySpotlight

Today we remember and honor those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. #NeverForget

The City of Coral Gables Fire and Police Departments will gather to commemorate the September 11, 2001 tragedy where nearly 3,000 people were killed and more than 6,000 were injured in a terrorist attack on the U.S. The ceremony will take place tomorrow at the city’s Police and Fire Headquarters on the corner of Salzedo and Minorca, at 8:35 a.m. with a radio announcement and a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. sharp to commemorate the moment that the first tower was struck.

The Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce and the City of Coral Gables were both founded in 1925 by George Merrick. Today the chamber is a thriving organization representing more than 1,600 businesses with the goal of expanding the local economy and advocating for a robust business climate. A key player in helping the chamber fulfill its mission is Devin Wade, chief of staff to President & CEO Mark Trowbridge. He labors to keep the CEO, chamber committees, events and volunteers organized. And he does it with a smile. “I love working at the chamber. We are so fortunate to have a robust membership and it’s great to work with them to build an even stronger business community,” said Wade. He has been with the organization since 2022. One of the things he loves about Coral Gables is being able to use mass transit to commute to and from work. Wade rides the Metrorail to Douglas Station and then transfers to the Coral Gables Trolley which leaves him footsteps from the chamber’s office on Alhambra. #LaborDay #GablesWorkforce #CommunitySpotlight
