• Yes. The AWCHC is recognized as the official local organizing body for Atlanta’s World Cup hosting, acting as the liaison between FIFA, the City of Atlanta, the State of Georgia, and local partners.

For visiting fans, the key starting points are:

• atlantafwc26.com – the official “World Cup Atlanta 2026” site, which covers match days, the FIFA Fan Festival at Centennial Olympic Park, visitor news, and mailing‑list sign‑ups.

• FIFA’s Atlanta host‑city page on FIFA.com, which links to the official schedule, offers, and key info for international visitors.

• https://beltline.org/fifa-world-cup/

These are useful supplements but not the main “tourist” hub:

• Discover Atlanta (visitatlanta.com / discoveratlanta.com) – the city’s official tourism site, with guides, FAQs, and general “beginner’s guide” material for World Cup‑era visitors.

• Travel‑guide sites (e.g., theworldcupguide.com, atlantaworldcuphub.com) – fan‑focused guides with hotels, transit, and local tips, but they’re third‑party, not the city’s official hub.
