S1E2 - World Cup 2026 with Terry Hasseltine

Maryland SoccerPlex. Matt Libber and Kim Walter Season 1 Episode 2

This week, we talk with Terry Hasseltine, the Executive Director of the Maryland Sports Commission.  Terry talks about the role of the Sports Commission in sports tourism for Maryland and importance of the youth sports as part of economic development.  Terry also heads up the Baltimore 2026 Local Organizing Committee for the FIFA World Cup.  Terry discusses the different pieces that go into the bid, how the process works, and why it is important to Baltimore and Maryland.  The World Cup is more than just soccer, and this provides a chance to change the narrative of Baltimore’s identity.  Check out www.baltimoremd2026.us for more information about Baltimore World Cup Host City Bid
