The grants are facilitated by Soccer Forward, U.S. Soccer's legacy platform and the driving force behind its efforts to expand access and strengthen communities through the game, through Comcast NBCUniversal funding. The Telemundo-owned stations will partner with the local nonprofits in their respective markets to spotlight grant recipients and amplify their impact through media coverage and community engagement events leading up to and during FIFA World Cup 2026™.

"The FIFA World Cup 2026™ is more than a tournament, it's a catalyst for an enduring impact-driven legacy," said Lex Chalat, Executive Director, Soccer Forward Foundation. "By working with Comcast NBCUniversal and Telemundo Station Group, we're able to invest in the organizations that will carry the game's impact forward long after the final match. These grants reflect Soccer Forward's commitment to ensuring 2026 leaves a meaningful legacy, with the goals to expanding access, empowering young leaders, and strengthening communities in every host city."

The local nonprofits and their in-market partner Telemundo-owned stations, which are part of Telemundo Station Group, serve the following cities hosting FIFA World Cup 2026™ matches: New York (Telemundo 47 / WNJU), Los Angeles (Telemundo 52 / KVEA), Philadelphia (Telemundo62 / WWSI), Dallas (Telemundo 39 / KXTX), Houston (Telemundo Houston / KTMD), San Francisco (Telemundo 48 / KSTS), Boston (Telemundo Boston / WNEU), and Miami (Telemundo 51 / WSCV).
