Atlanta’s long‑standing soccer tradition, highlighted by historic clubs and a vibrant fan base, transformed the recent World Cup into a showcase of community, diversity, and investment.

Atlanta’s transformation into a global soccer hub, from the 1996 Olympic debut of women’s soccer to the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026, reflects decades of investment, diverse community passion, and landmark achievements.

Kennesaw State University student Sofia Cupertino is covering the FIFA World Cup in Atlanta, turning her lifelong passion for the sport into a visual storytelling career.

Ahead of the 2026 Men’s FIFA World Cup, artist Joseph Veazey and his friend Gavin Guidry have released the Atlanta Soccer Map, a hand‑illustrated tribute to the city’s vibrant soccer scene. The project, sold through Veazey Studio, spotlights bars, fields, murals and the people who keep the sport alive.
