Promoting opportunities during the fédération internationale de football association world cup 2026.

HB 1939 requires Washington state to allocate a portion of funds spent on 2026 FIFA World Cup activities (like promotion and fan events) to provide access for low-income youth across the state, with specific emphasis on central Washington. The bill mandates that state departments ensure these funds directly support opportunities for young people from low-income backgrounds to experience the event. It expires on June 30, 2026, and applies only to state funds used for World Cup-related activities. The legislation does not change existing funding levels but directs a specific use of allocated resources.
