Background
Legends Hospitality is a sports and entertainment venue management company that operates food, beverage and retail services at major US stadiums. It serves as the food and beverage operator at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, one of the 2026 World Cup's US venues. On approximately 8 May 2026, Legends was named as a co-respondent alongside FIFA and Kroenke Sports & Entertainment in an NLRB unfair labour practice charge filed by UNITE HERE Local 11, representing stadium hospitality workers.
Legends was founded in 2008 as a joint venture between the New York Yankees and Dallas Cowboys. It has since expanded into venue strategy, sponsorship sales and hospitality at over 300 venues globally. In the NLRB charge context, Legends faces claims related to its treatment of workers who would staff World Cup matches — the specific allegations have not been made public, but UNITE HERE cited pay, benefits and the visa risk created by FIFA's accreditation data requirements as combined pressure points.
A strike at SoFi Stadium during the World Cup would affect matches scheduled there for the group stage and potentially later rounds, including the final.
