CS & The 2026 World Cup
The 2026 FIFA World Cup was a rousing success, one that saw world-class competition in 16 host cities across the United States, Canada and Mexico, marking the first time in history that the tournament was shared by three countries. The opening match kicked off on June 11 at the iconic Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, and the final on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
11 U.S. stadiums were selected to host matches, and Construction Specialties (CS) is proud to have contributed to seven of the world-class venues. Our solutions help shape immersive, high-performance environments designed to handle the intense energy of global sporting events—supporting heavy foot traffic, large crowds, and demanding conditions.
Our comprehensive product portfolio enhances both function and experience; helping venues create memorable spaces that foster connection, brand identity, and long-term durability. Each solution is engineered to meet the unique demands of its environment while elevating the aesthetic vision of the space.
With more than 75 years of experience, Construction Specialties brings unmatched expertise in addressing complex building challenges, delivering performance without compromise.

5. Lincoln Financial Field – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Home to the Philadelphia Eagles (NFL), this stadium features a distinctive open-plaza corner design that allows for natural airflow and visibility. To help manage exposure to the elements, CS installed 6155 Drainable Louvres throughout the facility. These 6-inch-deep fixed Louvres feature recessed mullions and double-drainable blades that minimise water penetration, preventing cascading runoff and enhancing performance in harsh weather conditions.
6. Levi’s Stadium – Santa Clara, California
Home to the San Francisco 49ers (NFL), this $1.3B venue integrates CS Architectural Louvres to optimise airflow and interior comfort. These solutions not only improve ventilation efficiency but are seamlessly incorporated into the building facade—demonstrating how performance and design can work hand in hand.
7. Lumen Field – Seattle, Washington
Home to the Seattle Seahawks (NFL) and Seattle Sounders FC (MLS).
Construction Specialties is also proud to contribute to the future of the sport through its involvement in the new U.S. Soccer headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia.
The Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Centre will serve as the first-ever centralised training facility for all 27 U.S. Soccer National Teams. Spanning 200 acres, the campus will feature more than a dozen soccer fields and over 100,000 square feet of indoor training space.
Designed to be a hub for players, coaches, referees, and staff, the facility will provide access to cutting-edge technology, best-in-class infrastructure, and comprehensive resources to support athlete development and performance. For players, it ensures uninterrupted access to elite training, recovery, and analysis environments—helping elevate U.S. Soccer on the global stage.
At CS, we specialise in transforming sports and entertainment venues into high-performance environments, without compromising design. From global stadiums to national training centres, our solutions help bring ambitious visions to life.
