The 2026 FIFA World Cup is Coming to Houston! Several business organizations, including SBA, came together at the Harris County - Houston Sports Authority to discuss how to align efforts in educating and providing resources to local businesses in preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Harris County - Houston Sports Authority helped launch Buy Houston: By Houston, a supplier diversity program to engage with diverse local suppliers to maximize procurement opportunities in partnership with high-profile events. This programming supports minority, woman, LGBTQIA+, and veteran-owned businesses through professional development sessions, networking events, and access to subcontract opportunities. The purpose of the meeting was to brainstorm ways to prioritize certifications so vendors can meet program requirements and identify additional support needs/collaborations. #SBAHDO U.S. Small Business Administration
