The Mexico United 2026 project, funded by the U.S. Department of State, aims to strengthen Mexico’s capacity to prevent and address labor and human rights risks associated with the 2026 FIFA World Cup. By working closely with local labor rights organizations and engaging national and local authorities, the project seeks to reduce the risk of labor abuses and human rights violations during the event.
As the United States plays a central role as a co-host in the 2026 World Cup, ensuring fair labor practices and protecting worker rights in Mexico directly supports broader efforts to uphold standards across North America. By improving labor conditions, the project not only contributes to a more ethical labor environment in Mexico but also ensures that U.S. businesses are operating on a level playing field, free from unfair competition.
By addressing these labor and human rights concerns proactively, Mexico United 2026 helps to reinforce the shared values between the U.S. and Mexico, fostering stronger trade relations and economic stability. This initiative reflects a commitment to ethical labor practices, supports workers’ rights, and strengthens regional partnerships that benefit both nations.
