5 Essentials for Hosting the Ultimate
FIFA Fan Fest
The FIFA Fan Festival is the official fan festival of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, bringing the magic of the tournament to life in a vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere. It’s more than just watching the matches—it’s about experiencing the culture, music, food, and community spirit that the game inspires across the globe. Not sure where to start to make this an epic bash to remember? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered with all of the essentials.
1. Foam3D™ Sculptures
The FIFA World Cup only happens every four years—meaning, the celebrations must be just as monumental for this quadrennial event. With Britten's Foam3D™ sculpting—easily elevate your Fan Fest with selfie signs, life size statues, 3D foam props, and sculptures that help bring the energy and excitement of the game to life.
The diverse versatility of foam was on full display at the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup with larger-than-life 3D foam gloves. Designed to generate buzz and create epic selfie opportunities, this install was perfect for soccer fans of every age. Promoters and vendors made a big splash by using 3D foam letters, event logos, and selfie signs throughout key focal points at the 15th edition of this biennial international men’s soccer championship of the North, Central America, and Caribbean region(s).
2. Entrances and Archways
Make your mark from the very first step. Entrances and archways set the tone for the FIFA World Cup experience—welcoming fans and players alike into an atmosphere charged with energy, pride, and celebration. Bold, branded structures not only capture attention but also create an instant sense of arrival, transforming ordinary spaces into iconic gateways that fuel excitement and anticipation.
By crafting powerful entry points, you turn your city into a FIFA Fan Festival destination that fans will never forget.
3. Event Structure Systems
If you build it, they will come. Whether it’s BoxPop®, EventTruss™, or TrailerBox™, we’ve got everything you need to create epic event structures.
To better manage gameday crowds, the San Francisco 49ers turned to EventTruss™—a flexible, modular support system designed to command attention while also enforcing stadium security needs. Combined with semi-portable rotating flagpoles and directional signage to guide foot traffic, these entrance and exit structures delivered both practical crowd control and bold, highly visible event branding.
Built for long-term use in busy venues, BoxPop® & TrailerBox™ custom shipping containers can be transformed into immersive environments—wired with Wi-Fi or sound systems, outfitted with staircases and rooftop patios, or stacked to create multi-level fan zones and activation spaces. Their flexibility opens the door to countless design possibilities, shaped only by creativity and budget.
4. Event Backdrops & Banners
Set the stage, literally and figuratively—for the ultimate FIFA fan fest celebration! An easy way to turn a bare wall or blank space into a crowd-stopping photo-op, step-and-repeats are always a huge fan favorite—especially when sports stars like Magic Johnson are in the house and happy to strike a pose.
5. Building Wraps & Large Format Print
Make a city-wide statement. Let us design a building wrap or large format print that captures the spirit of your city and celebrates the love of the game. As overstated or understated as you desire, building wraps make a splash in a major way.
So, grab your jersey, gather your friends, and get ready to celebrate alongside thousands of your fellow fans. FIFA Fan Fest is where unforgettable memories are made both on and off the pitch, and we’ve got you covered with the essentials for the ultimate bash.
