FIFA World Cup to Transform DFW: Monica Paul of the Dallas Sports Commission on The DLC Drop Podcast
On the latest episode of The DLC Drop, John Davidson sits down with Monica Paul of the Dallas Sports Commission to unpack what the 2026 FIFA World Cup will mean for Dallas-Fort Worth, from global visibility and economic impact to long-term infrastructure, tourism, and talent attraction. 🎙️
As one of the region’s key architects behind major sporting events, Monica offers a behind-the-scenes look at how DFW is preparing to welcome the world, and why the World Cup represents a once-in-a-generation catalyst for growth across sports, business, and the broader North Texas economy. ⚽🌎
The conversation dovetails perfectly with DallasMeetup’s Professional Sports Cohort, which is bringing together operators, executives, and deal-makers across pro sports, venues, media, and sports-adjacent businesses.
We’re excited to continue that dialogue in person with John Davidson and members of Dallas Sports Commission at our upcoming Sports Cohort mixer at Concrete Cowboy in Frisco, right in the heart of one of the fastest-growing sports corridors in the country.
John Davidson is the Founder & CEO of Davidson Learning Company. Listen to the full episode here.
