Gracie Hunt is widely known for her passion for sports. Hunt is a regular at Kansas City Chiefs games and one of the most recognizable faces in the NFL. That’s why FIFA has chosen her for the special honor of hospitality captain for the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n

The daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt is passionate about sports and doesn’t hesitate to always show them off with photos and videos on social media.<\/p>\n

In addition to being a steady presence at Chiefs games, Gracie is also a fitness enthusiast who enjoys hiking, kayaking, tennis, pickleball, and, of course, soccer.<\/p>\n

Last December, Hunt shared a video showcasing his soccer skills on the sidelines of Arrowhead Stadium’s GEHA Field in preparation for his appointment as FIFA Hospitality Captain.<\/p>\n

Gracie Hunt prepares for the World Cup<\/h2>\n

Gracie himself announced the appointment in December of this year, but FIFA Hospitality confirmed it this Wednesday in an Instagram post: “Introducing the captain of Kansas City Hospitality: @graciehunt.”<\/p>\n

“This is a city that shows up for the team and the players,” Hunt told FIFA. “We’ve built a culture centered around loyalty, passion and pride, and that translates seamlessly into our global game.”<\/p>\n

As if that wasn’t enough, Hunt wrote on the reply board:<\/p>\n

\n

“Kansas City’s heart, hospitality, and love for the game are truly special, and we can’t wait to help welcome the world in 2026! Let’s make history together.”<\/p>\n

Gracie will have his hands full at the World Cup<\/h2>\n

Arrowhead Stadium is one of 16 stadiums selected by FIFA to host the World Cup, including 11 in the United States.<\/p>\n

A total of six matches will be held at Chiefs’ home stadium: four group stage matches including Argentina vs. Algeria, 321 round matches, and one quarter-final match.<\/p>\n

The princess of the Chiefs kingdom will have a tough job as FIFA’s hospitality captain, but if she approaches it with the same enthusiasm she shows at Chiefs games, she’s sure to excel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
