The 2026 World Cup will bring an influx of international superfans to the US, Mexico and Canada. Many of which have phone plans that won’t work outside their home country. To help solve this issue, Verizon will provide a limited time offer to international visitors needing coverage with the World Cup Sim Card.
Thanks to Verizon’s high speed wireless connection, fans visiting will have access to the biggest game around the globe so they don’t miss a beat while they’re away from home. With Verizon, we are connected by the game.
Sim Card Kiosks
In order to give people coverage immediately, kiosks will be placed inside of airports.
Artist Partnership
Through a partnership with local artists in each host nation, Verizon will create custom sim cards that don’t just keep you connected, but also serve as a memento.
