                               RESOLUTION

Honoring the tremendous effort undertaken by the good people of Kansas
  City, Missouri, Kansas, and surrounding communities in getting the
                   heartland ready for the World Cup.

Whereas the World Cup is the most popular international sporting event, drawing
        the attention of 6 billion viewers worldwide;
Whereas the 2026 World Cup is the largest tournament in history with 104
        matches, 48 teams with games to be staged in 3 countries;
Whereas Kansas City is the smallest United States city of 11 to be selected, yet
        quickly established itself as ``Soccer Capital of America'', due to its
        outstanding facilities, excellent hospitality and great central
        location;
Whereas Kansas City offers players and fans alike an outstanding location in
        which to enjoy the games; and
Whereas first responders, public works, transportation officials, and volunteers
        have all worked diligently to provide a safe, clean and accessible
        environment, which guests and locals can enjoy a fun and entertaining
        time: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) honors the dedication and hard work and effort of all
        the Kansas City and surrounding Missouri and Kansas communities
        for creating an outstanding environment to house such an event;
            (2) recognizes the difficulty and extraordinary effort
        required to undertake putting together such an event;
            (3) affirms the commitment to the American people that
        global events will not always be housed in American megacities;
        and
            (4) commends the small businesses, teams, schools,
        volunteers, and officials for their dedication to their city in
        welcoming the world.
