This short term infusion of cash will buy us a little time This level of funding within our current situation won’t buy a long term solution An Atlanta with ONLY one Level 1 trauma center and a Georgia with ONLY four Level 1 trauma centers is too risky for our future

Each @FIFAWorldCup soccer match is bigger than a Super Bowl. Atlanta had the opportunity to host several including potentially a semi-final. This is an incredible chance for Atlanta to be on the global stage athletically and culturally in 2026

Atlanta is vying to become only the second U.S. city, along with Los Angeles, to host both the Olympics and World Cup matches. Hosting World Cup matches could mean hundreds of millions in revenue for the city.
