Fédération Internationale de Football Association World Cup Grant Program

FIFA World Cup Grant Program (FWCGP) will provide the 11 U.S. based FIFA World Cup host cities with the resources to implement the necessary security measures for and strengthen capabilities around this series of 78 high-risk events. FWCGP funds will enhance the ability of local law enforcement, emergency responders, and public safety officials to prepare for, protect against, and respond to threats and emergencies during the World Cup matches.

Non-federal entities as defined in 2 C.F.R. § 200.1

Eligible applicants will apply for assistance using FEMA Grants Outcomes (FEMA GO). 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards apply to this program.

Notification of award approval is made via the FEMA GO system through automatic electronic mail to the recipient’s authorized official listed in the initial application. The recipient should follow the directions in the notification to confirm acceptance of the award. Recipients must accept their awards no later than 30 days from the award date. The recipient shall notify FEMA of its intent to accept and proceed with work under the award or provide a notice of intent to decline through the FEMA GO system. Funds will remain on hold until the recipient accepts the award through the FEMA GO system and all other conditions of the award have been satisfied or until the award is otherwise rescinded. Failure to accept a grant award within the 30-day timeframe may result in a loss of funds.
