The group spearheading the planning and logistics of Kansas City’s hosting of several FIFA 2026 World Cup matches is looking for a new executive director.

Katherine Holland confirmed to KSHB 41 News on Wednesday afternoon she resigned from the position.

Two board members of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Kansas City Board of Directors first told KSHB 41's Tod Palmer of the resignation.

The sources also confirmed Kansas City, Missouri, City Manager Brian Platt, who had been serving on KC2026 board, also resigned.

Their resignations aren't related, the sources said.

A spokesperson from the Kansas City Sports Commission & Foundation said it doesn't comment on personnel issues.

The Kansas City area is roughly two years away from hosting six World Cup matches, including a quarterfinal match.

FIFA announced earlier this month that the Kansas City area is slated to host three World Cup national teams as part of their stay during the tournament.

No word on what triggered their resignations.
