While Spain’s national team finished with a zero-to-zero draw in its first match of the World Cup, economic leaders are looking to score off the pitch.

The Spanish national football team, the Metro Atlanta Chamber, the Spain–U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Embassy of Spain in the United States came together Monday for the Spain–Atlanta Global Sports & Business Summit.

The 2026 World Cup is not only providing a moment for fans to come together, but also for economic leaders to build stronger ties.
