Business Opportunities

The North Texas FIFA World Cup Organizing Committee has adopted a Procurement Policy designed to ensure the efficient and transparent acquisition of goods and services essential to our operations. This policy outlines clear guidelines and procedures for engaging vendors and partners across the region.
