ALEXANDRIA, Va. - America's beer and beverage distributors worked behind the scenes throughout the 2026 FIFA World Cup™ to deliver memorable experiences for millions of soccer fans across the country.

"The last month has been a powerful reminder of the role beer plays in bringing people together, and that doesn't happen without the hard work and local expertise of America's beer distributors," said National Beer Wholesalers Association (NBWA) President and CEO Craig Purser. "From coast to coast, NBWA members played a vital role in sharing our country's vibrant beer industry with fans from around the world. Cheers to a memorable summer!"
