FIFA Super Pitch: Houston
About the Event
As the Official Telecommunication Services Sponsor of the FIFA World Cup 2026, Verizon is bringing the competitive spirit of the tournament to our local community. We invite local entrepreneurs, community leaders, and business fans to join us for an afternoon of elite competition and professional growth. Five semi-finalists from across the country have been selected to compete right here in Houston. Watch these top-tier entrepreneurs deliver high-pressure, 3-minute pitches to a panel of local leaders. One regional winner will advance to the Grand Finale to compete for a $20,000 grant and a VIP trip to the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final. This event is designed to give every attendee a competitive edge: Attendee Pitch Coaching: Step onto the "practice field" for a pitch workshop to learn actionable techniques for delivering pitches with clarity, confidence, and impact. Networking: Connect with local peers, regional community partners, and Verizon leadership during our "Post-Game" networking hour. Join us on the pitch.
