## Resource

Kansas City is already eyeing the next big thing—officially bidding for both the 2031 Men’s Rugby World Cup and the 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cup, with Mayor Quinton Lucas leading the charge. Building on their successful World Cup hosting, which showcased the city’s venues, leadership, and passionate fans, the momentum is strong to land more global events. Supporters like Nate Orr believe this is a golden opportunity—one that could vanish if missed. Beyond sports, the city is also considering making the iconic heart-shaped World Cup Fan Festival structure permanent, with Mayor Lucas willing to foot the bill. Funding ideas include tying it to the “One Percent for the Art” program or a new downtown Royals stadium deal, proving Kansas City’s vision extends beyond the field to a richer, more vibrant urban future.
