American Airlines is the Official North American Airline Supplier of the FIFA World Cup 26, which will be hosted across Canada, Mexico and the US next year, joining Global Airline Partner Qatar Airways and offering match tickets to members.
Celebrating its centennial next year, American Airlines will promote FIFA World Cup 26 offers and opportunities in partnership with Qatar Airways to deliver seamless travel experiences for players and fans in North America.
For American, this marks a significant collaboration with Qatar Airways, FIFA’s Global Airline Partner, which has exclusive international flight rights until 2030 as part of its recently renewed global FIFA partnership.
In addition, American Airlines AAdvantage members and Qatar Airways Privilege Club will have access to FIFA World Cup 2026 match tickets through their respective redemption programs.
