ABOUT ART OF SOCCER
The Art of Soccer campaign brought together Houston businesses, artists and community partners to celebrate the excitement surrounding the FIFA World Cup 26™ and create a lasting impact across the region.
​
Originally launched during Houston’s FIFA World Cup host city bid, the campaign returned ahead of the tournament to showcase custom-designed soccer ball installations throughout the city. Each piece reflected Houston’s creativity, culture and passion for the world’s game while supporting community legacy initiatives through the Sports Authority Foundation.
​
Funds raised through the campaign support initiatives focused on growing the game, sustainability efforts and community impact programs connected to Impact Houston 26.
