Business owners take advantage of the FIFA World Cup

The Shoreline Chamber of Commerce, alongside the City of Shoreline, is set to host an important networking event aimed at local business owners. This initiative is in light of Seattle being one of the 16 host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup™, an occasion expected to bring substantial economic benefits. With projections estimating $929 million in economic activity, the event indicates a promising future for local businesses, potentially supporting over 20,700 jobs. Moreover, the influx of 750,000 expected visitors is set to amplify local commerce significantly, marking this event as six times larger than the Super Bowl in terms of impact. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn how to leverage this global moment for their businesses.

The networking event is scheduled for Thursday, April 17, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Vault 177, located at 1430 NW Richmond Beach Rd, Shoreline. This gathering not only highlights the economic opportunities associated with the World Cup but also fosters community engagement among local entrepreneurs.
