Happening in Fulton: From FIFA to the Future: Chairman Robb Pitts on What’s Next for Fulton County
Tracy Flanagan and Chairman Robb Pitts conducted had a post game analysis for FIFA World Cup 2026. Tracy Flanagan asked Chairman Pitts several questions about Fulton County's involvement in FIFA World Cup 2026 in Atlanta. Hear more from Chairman Robb Pitts as he answers one of Tracy Flanagan's question about how he thinks Fulton County did overall. The reality of it is we didn't have a major role and people don't understand that, but we did not. I mean, the contract was with the FIFA World Cup folks, City of Atlanta, and the sports council. So they were the heavies in this. We played you know, sort of a supporting role in that, primarily from a public safety point of view. We obviously had some of our sheriff's people involved. More importantly, our emergency management were on standby and ready to go if need be, as well as our police department. But we were not directly involved in any of the major activities that happened. From a public safety point of view the good news is nothing happened, and we can all be thankful of that. Of course Grady Hospital was on standby. That is us; we were on standby and ready to assist.
