With Health We All Win
Health recommendations to enjoy the FIFA World Cup 2026™
At the 2026 World Cup, the celebration happens both inside and outside the stadiums—whether you’re enjoying large public events in your city or attending the matches. The Pan American Health Organization offers these recommendations for everyone celebrating the tournament, including those traveling to Canada, Mexico, or the United States, as well as those participating in mass gatherings in their own countries.
The guiding principle is simple but essential: when you take care of yourself, you help take care of everyone. Individual health depends on collective health, and actions such as keeping your vaccinations up to date, practicing habits that help prevent disease, choosing safe foods, celebrating without alcohol, and staying properly hydrated all contribute to a safer and more enjoyable experience for everyone.
In mass events like those surrounding the World Cup, staying protected is key to enjoying the festivities with peace of mind. It’s important to be up to date with all recommended vaccines, especially for measles, which has had a significant increase in cases across the Americas. It’s also important to pay attention to signs of illness—such as fever, skin rashes, or difficulty breathing—and seek medical care early.
Listening to your body and acting promptly helps protect your health and the health of those around you. You can find more information in the materials accompanying this campaign.
In this global celebration, let’s remember that with health, we all win.
