The U.S. will soon become the epicenter of the sports world by hosting the FIFA World Cup in 2026 and the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028. These sporting events represent a unique opportunity for the U.S. to highlight national values, identity, and leadership to the world.
As a call to action, Meridian is launching the Meridian Global Sports Diplomacy Initiative, followed by tailored events and public engagement activities through 2024 and beyond to provide the foundation for productive dialogue and projected outcomes.
This multi-year Initiative will celebrate the power of sports as a vehicle for diplomacy, economic development, and cross-cultural understanding through a suite of programs.
