Welcome to Atlanta – “The City in a Forest” and one of America’s most energetic, creative, and fast-growing cities!
Atlanta’s story began in 1837 as a small railroad stop connecting the South. From those humble tracks, it grew into a powerful symbol of resilience and reinvention—rebuilt stronger than ever after the Civil War. By the mid-1900s, it became the heartbeat of the Civil Rights Movement, led by icons like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose dream of equality began right here.
Fast forward to today, and Atlanta is buzzing with life—a modern hub where history meets innovation. The city is home to global brands like Coca-Cola and Delta Airlines, vibrant street art, world-famous hip-hop, and Southern hospitality that feels like a warm hug. From historic neighborhoods to cutting-edge tech and culture, Atlanta blends tradition, creativity, and unstoppable energy—ready to welcome the world for the 2026 FIFA World Cup!

Mercedes-Benz Stadium, affectionately called “The Benz,” is located right in downtown Atlanta and serves as home to the Atlanta Falcons (NFL) and Atlanta United FC (MLS). Opened in 2017, it’s famous for its futuristic design, energy-efficient technology, and a retractable roof shaped like a camera lens—a first of its kind!

For the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Mercedes-Benz Stadium will host multiple matches, bringing together fans from across the globe. Expect electric energy, cultural performances, and a sea of team colors filling Atlanta’s downtown streets. Large viewing parties, fan festivals, and cultural showcases will also pop up around Centennial Park—making this area the heartbeat of Atlanta’s World Cup celebration.
Plan your trip, book your stay, and join fans from around the world as we celebrate the beautiful game in Atlanta.
