KC Heart Gateway
A grand, 65-foot-tall heart-shaped entrance to the National WWI Museum and Memorial’s south lawn. The KC Heart isn’t just a beloved symbol — it’s a spirit. It stands for a city that opens its arms to the world, where inclusion is instinctive, and community runs deep.

A 45-foot-by-25-foot primary video board with additional screens serves as the epicenter of energy. This is where fans gather to watch the biggest matches, experience live performances and engage through bold visuals and interactive moments inspired by the spirit of the FIFA World Cup 2026™.

ABOUT THE LOCATION
The National WWI Museum and Memorial, one of Kansas City’s most recognizable landmarks, will be the host site for the iconic FIFA Fan Festival™. Known as “Kansas City’s Front Porch,” the National WWI Museum and Memorial is situated in the heart of the metro area and features a stunning view of the downtown skyline to the north.
“The National WWI Museum and Memorial, an enduring symbol of the importance of international peace and cooperation, is an ideal location to bring people from around the world together in Kansas City,” Mayor Quinton Lucas said. “I look forward to the FIFA Fan Festival showcasing the vibrant cultures, talented artists and diverse cuisines that make Kansas City such a special place.”
A nexus point for multiple transportation corridors such as the KC Streetcar, bus, nearby Union Station, bike transit and several major highways, the National WWI Museum and Memorial is well-situated to meet the needs of the transit mobility plan to be implemented for FIFA World Cup 26™ Kansas City.
FIFA Fan Festival™ programming, hours, and further details will be made available in updates throughout the coming months.
