MUMBAI: ON LOCATION, appointed by FIFA as the official hospitality provider of the FIFA World Cup 26, has appointed Cutting Edge as a non-exclusive sales agent for the mega tournament in India.
For the record, Dream Sports subsidiary DreamSetGo also holds hospitality provider rights to World Cup 26 for the Indian market.
As an officially appointed non-exclusive sales agent, Cutting Edge will be a point of contact in India to sell official hospitality packages for World Cup 26, which will take place across Canada, Mexico, and the USA from 11 June to 19 July 2026.
“We are thrilled to partner with our new international sales agent, Cutting Edge, on the FIFA World Cup 26,” said On Location’s FIFA World Cup 26 business general manager Alicia Falken. “Their expertise in hospitality sales in India and deep understanding of their market will be instrumental in ensuring our clients receive unparalleled service.
“The FIFA World Cup 26 Official Hospitality Programme offers game-changing premium hospitality and once-in-a-lifetime experiences across a wide range of packages, celebrating each host city’s unique culture, attractions, and state-of-the-art venues,” Falken further stated.
Commenting on the win, Cutting Edge founder & director Mayank Khandwala said: “Cutting Edge is honoured to be appointed as On Location’s non-exclusive sales agent for FIFA World Cup 26 Official Hospitality Sales in India, continuing our work selling hospitality for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa, 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil, 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia, and 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar.”
Cutting Edge CEO Raj Khandwala added: “We are committed to bringing sports fans in India closer to the most coveted football competition in the world, providing fans with a unique opportunity to purchase ticket-inclusive hospitality packages to the FIFA World Cup 26, augmented by a wide range of comprehensive travel packages, including flights, accommodation, transportation, sightseeing, and social programmes.”
The FIFA World Cup 26 Official Hospitality Programme offers guests ticket-inclusive hospitality packages for individual matches or in bundles, allowing them to attend several matches in one or more cities, during a particular tournament stage, or to follow a specific national team. In addition to premium seating, hospitality packages may include on-site concierge service, regionally inspired food and beverages, immersive experiences, special guest appearances, live entertainment, commemorative gifts, and more. Hospitality guests will also enjoy expedited access to venues via dedicated security checkpoints.
Fans are urged NOT to purchase tickets or packages from unauthorized platforms or sellers as FIFA reserves the right to cancel tickets obtained via unofficial channels. While there may be offers of unauthorized tickets and hospitality packages currently in the market, On Location is the only official hospitality provider of World Cup 26. Additionally, On Location is partnering with Major League Soccer and MLS clubs across the U.S. and Canada as official appointed Sales Agents for the tournament.
The full list of authorized global sales agents will be published on FIFAWorldCup.com/hospitality and added to once a region is announced.
