About the Meridian Center for Sports and Cultural Diplomacy

The Meridian Center for Sports and Cultural Diplomacy is a force multiplier for U.S. soft power—mobilizing athletes, artists, and cultural leaders as frontline diplomats to build trust and foster international connection where traditional diplomacy may not reach. As global attention turns to America’s 250th anniversary, the Olympics, and the World Cup, we are catalyzing a network of cultural leaders and institutions to develop high-impact international partnerships and programs.
