Join Cru– along with partners, churches and thousands of local believers–in the mission to reach, engage, and connect with communities through Victory Beyond the Cup.
From June 11 to July 19, 2026, more than 5 billion people will tune in to watch the World Cup. Victory Beyond the Cup, a Cru initiative, equips City Champions like you to mobilize believers, unite churches, and leverage this moment to advance God’s Kingdom.
By mobilizing your congregation to open their homes for World Cup watch parties, you create welcoming spaces where people can connect, friendships can form, and meaningful conversations naturally unfold. The World Cup is about more than goals and glory—it’s a powerful opportunity for believers to meet people where they are, build relationships, and point them to the hope of Christ. Whether through small gatherings in living rooms or larger church-wide events, this global moment provides a unique platform for evangelism and lasting impact.
A city champion mobilizes their networks to engage believers in their city, whether a church or ministry leader, community leader, or an everyday believer with a heart for the Gospel. As a City Champion, you’ll:
Share the vision with others in your network and community
Recruit believers to host a World Cup watch party
Empower new Champions
Encourage and connect those you lead
When you sign up to become a City Champion, you’ll receive online, self-paced training resources on how to recruit and equip others, support watch parties, multiply the movement, and more!
Mighty Networks is a vibrant community designed to walk with you through the World Cup—explore hosting, engage in spiritual conversations, and build meaningful connections. Access online trainings and real-time encouragement every step of the way.
