Bank of America, Vet Tix donate 4,547 World Cup tickets to US military and first responders

Bank of America and Vet Tix are providing a significant gesture of appreciation to U.S. service members and first responders by donating 4,547 tickets to the FIFA World Cup 2026.

The substantial donation, totaling $2.25 million, will grant access to matches held at all 11 U.S. venues throughout the tournament, which runs from June 12 to July 19. This includes tickets for all levels of the 48-nation competition, encompassing the crucial semifinals and the final championship match.

In a special tribute to the nation's upcoming 250th anniversary, 250 of the donated tickets are reserved for games involving the United States men's national team. The U.S. team is scheduled to play Paraguay, Australia, and Turkiye in the group stage.

"We wanted to ensure our military, first responders, and their families have the opportunity to celebrate the biggest sporting event in the world during our country's 250th birthday," stated Larry Di Rita, Bank of America's head of global public policy. "We are honored to work with Vet Tix to provide this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to the people who have sacrificed and served our country."

Vet Tix will begin distributing the tickets this week, offering a memorable experience to those who have served the nation.
