Gracie Hunt is widely recognized for her passion for sports. Hunt is a regular at Kansas City Chiefs games and is one of the most recognizable faces in the NFL. That’s why FIFA selected her for a special honor: Captain of Hospitality for the 2026 World Cup.
The daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt is passionate about sports and doesn’t hesitate to show it constantly with photos and videos on her social media.
Beyond her unwavering presence at Chiefs games, Gracie is a fitness enthusiast and has also been seen hiking, kayaking, playing tennis, pickleball, and, of course, soccer.
Last December, Hunt shared a video showcasing her soccer skills on the sidelines of GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, in preparation for her appointment as FIFA Hospitality Captain.
Gracie Hunt will welcome the World Cup
Although Gracie herself had announced the appointment this past December, FIFA Hospitality confirmed it this Wednesday with an Instagram post saying, “Meet our Kansas City Hospitality Captain: @graciehunt.”
“This is a city that shows up for its teams and its players,” Hunt told FIFA. “We’ve built a culture around loyalty, passion, and pride, and that translates seamlessly to the global game.”
As if that weren’t enough, Hunt wrote on the replies board:
“Kansas City’s heart, hospitality, and love for the game are truly special, and I can’t wait to help welcome the world in 2026! Let’s make history together.”
Gracie will have her hands full at the World Cup
Arrowhead Stadium is one of the 16 stadiums chosen by FIFA to host the World Cup, including 11 in the United States.
The Chiefs’ home will host six games in total: four group stage matches, including Argentina vs. Algeria, one Round of 32 game, and one quarterfinal.
The Chiefs’ Kingdom princess will have a demanding job as FIFA’s captain of hospitality, but if she approaches it with the same enthusiasm she shows at Chiefs games, she’ll undoubtedly excel.
