FIFA has selected Rock-it Cargo, a Global Critical Logistics (GCL) company, as the Official Logistics Provider for the FIFA World Cup 2026. Rock-it Cargo’s involvement is a key step toward delivering a seamless logistics operation for the tournament, set to run from June 11 to July 19, 2026.

“In Rock-it Cargo we have found the perfect partner to entrust with the critical logistics services for the biggest FIFA World Cup ever. We have been impressed by Rock-it Cargo’s experience and attention to detail, teamwork and passion to deliver operational excellence. Their global model fits perfectly with our extensive ambitions for the tournament,” says Mattias Grafström, Secretary General, FIFA. 

This tournament, which will take place across 16 host cities in Canada, Mexico, and the United States, aims to be the largest World Cup in history, featuring 48 teams and 104 matches.

Rock-it Cargo’s role will include multi-year planning, management, and event logistics services, with a focus on customs, international freight forwarding, warehouse and distribution operations, as well as on-site venue operations at the International Broadcast Centre and for team equipment.

The partnership, which begins in 2025, will see Rock-it Cargo providing logistics services for the new FIFA Club World Cup. This event will be hosted across 12 stadiums in 11 cities in June and July 2025. In 2026, the partnership will expand to cover the FIFA World Cup, solidifying Rock-it Cargo’s position as a Tournament Supporter for the event.

“We are deeply honored to have been selected by FIFA to support the planning and delivery of the biggest FIFA World Cup ever. For nearly 50 years our team has been trusted by the world’s biggest artists and North American sports leagues to deliver extraordinary experiences through extensive planning, contingency management and outstanding event coordination. We look forward to drawing on our experience in the FIFA World Cup 26 stadiums and Host Cities to help successfully execute the 39-day tournament,” says Daniel Rosenthal, President and CEO, GCL, the parent company of Rock-it Cargo. 

As FIFA’s Official Logistics Provider, Rock-it Cargo brings a unique advantage with its extensive North American operational experience, centralized warehouse infrastructure, and last-mile delivery ownership. This expertise will enhance the efficiency and sustainability of the logistics services provided to FIFA’s partners, vendors, broadcasters, and other stakeholders.
