Nashville SC is off to the hottest start in MLS the last 25 years, but right now, they're taking a break for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Geodis Park isn't hosting any World Cup matches, but the team off the field is looking to learn how host cities handle the international crowds. Chief Business Officer Lindsey Paola says things like Team Japan training in Nashville and Geodis Park hosting Club World Cup matches help get her crew ready for 2028. Tourism and Security leaders in Middle Tennessee are also getting ready by taking notes from the 2026 World Cup. The Metro Nashville Police Department also plans to beef up security leading up to the Olympics and Super Bowl LXIV.
