A fight between two people during a cheerleading event in downtown Dallas led to panic and the evacuation of the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center. Dallas police said the two people knocked over poles that created a loud noise and there were multiple non-life-threatening injuries as people ran from the event.

It’s now official, the City of Dallas and the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center confirmed as the home to the international broadcast center for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

FIFA World Cup International Broadcast Center is coming to Texas, and will take place at Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas.

"On behalf of FIFA and FIFA World Cup 26, it is my absolute pleasure to confirm that Dallas and the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center will serve as the international broadcast center for the FIFA World Cup 2026," Hopfinger said. She said Dallas has been a remarkable partner.
