Two PR experts have revealed which huge celebrities will most likely be spotted at the 2026 World Cup.
With only a few days to go until the tournament kicks off, excited soccer fans are flying from across the world to the United States, Mexico and Canada to enjoy the biggest event in sports.
Teams have been named, matches have been organized, and preparations for the opening ceremony are underway. However, there is still one aspect of the FIFA World Cup that has been kept under wraps: Exactly which A-listers will be attending the games. This comes as The Mark, one of New York City's swankiest hotels, revealed its $1 million World Cup package.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror US, Johan Konst, founder at EUSA PR, and David Triana, PR expert and account manager at Disrupt PR, delved into which stars could be attending the World Cup.
Triana explained that due to the World Cup's three opening ceremonies being likened to the Super Bowl, "we could see the most celebrities we've seen attend the event."

He also explained that the final's half-time show could also draw in big names, and that the best place to spot who could be coming is the World Cup commercials.
As the celebrities appearing in the tournament's commercials have official ties to the World Cup, there's no doubt that they will be making an appearance at soccer-related events.
"Nike's World Cup ad could give us a very good glimpse at the celebrities that could be there this year, and those include LeBron James, Kim Kardashian, Travis Scott, Channing Tatum and Jason Sudeikis," Triana told us.
Johan Konst noted that the event's location could increase the probability of celebrity attendance, as he said, "I would expect strong interest from Hollywood, the sports world and major business figures."

However, Konst also pointed out that there may be some royal attendees, especially as Prince William is Patron of the FA (English Football Association), so he most likely will attend the tournament.
"For England, previous tournaments have attracted figures such as Prince William, Princess Catherine, David Beckham, Ed Sheeran, Gary Lineker, Harry Styles, and other famous public figures," Triana said. Konst further noted that it's not uncommon for other European politicians and royals to make an appearance at matches, especially finals.
"Across Europe, it is also common to see royals, presidents, and prime ministers attend matches when their national teams are making deep runs, but also celebrities from those countries, like DJs like Armin van Buuren, actors like Tom Holland, former football players like Zinedine Zidane, etc," the expert concluded.
