FIFA's FWC26 Human Rights Framework

Author - FIFA

The FIFA World Cup 2026™ Human Rights Framework is a guidance document developed by FIFA, FWC2026 US, FWC2026 Canada, and FWC2026 Mexico (collectively FWC26) for the sixteen FIFA World Cup 2026™ Host City Committees, the local entities responsible for organising and delivering the FIFA World Cup 2026™ in each city.

Using the Framework as a guide, all FIFA World Cup 2026™ Host City Committees will develop tailored Host City Human Rights Action Plans in consultation with FWC26, local governmental and non-governmental stakeholders, and community groups.

The Framework embodies the commitment of FWC26 and all Host Cities to host and stage the FIFA World Cup 2026™ guided by the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs).
