Today, Chevron and Impact Houston 26, the legacy initiative launched by the FIFA World Cup 2026™ Houston Host Committee with the Sports Authority Foundation, celebrated the unveiling of a new resilient soccer field at Mason Park, designed with sustainability, climate resilience, and inclusive play at its core.
This transformation goes beyond the pitch: new shade trees, habitat restoration, improved gathering spaces, educational elements, and thoughtful design features will help create a healthier, cooler, and more connected community space for generations to come.
This is the legacy we’re building together for Houston.
The playing surface for Houston Stadium is in the ground and getting ready for play, assisted by state-of-the-art grow lights to ensure healthy growth for optimal playing conditions during the #FIFAWorldCup 🌱
