Pinnacle Group is proud to share that Founder and CEO Nina Vaca has been elected Co-Chair of the North Texas FIFA World Cup 2026™ Organizing Committee for Dallas, serving alongside Dan Hunt.
With one year to go, Dallas is preparing to take center stage on the world’s largest sporting platform. The city will host 9 matches — more than any other host city — including a semifinal at Dallas Stadium and the International Broadcast Center at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.
The scope of FIFA World Cup 2026™:
- 3 host countries, 16 cities, 48 teams, 104 matches
- June 11 – July 19, 2026
- $1.5–2.1 billion in projected economic impact for the Dallas-Fort Worth region
- 13,400 new jobs projected across North Texas
This milestone reflects the leadership of Monica Paul, the Dallas Sports Commission, and the FIFA team, whose vision is bringing this once-in-a-generation opportunity to North Texas.
For Nina and Pinnacle Group, this appointment represents more than soccer — it’s an opportunity to help shape Dallas’s legacy on a global stage and to mobilize the business leaders, community advocates, and partners who will deliver on that promise.
