The games capped off a summer of international soccer at Mercedes-Benz, another step in Atlanta’s quest to cement itself as the country’s up-and-coming soccer capital.

Atlanta will host eight games including a semi-final, expecting to draw about 300,000 fans and create what Atlanta World Cup Host Committee Chief Operating Officer Georgia O’Donoghue likened to “eight Super Bowls in 39 days.” Here are some of the ways the city is preparing for the epic event.

I glanced at my wheelchair stowed away in the trunk and took a deep breath as my friend Setu pulled her SUV out of the driveway. We exchanged wide-eyed grins, still in disbelief that this trip was actually happening. We were headed to Atlanta for a highly anticipated, whirlwind girls’ weekend. It was going to be my first trip in fifteen years without my parents. It all started when my brother and sister-in-law somehow nabbed, for my 38th birthday, the most coveted item of this decade: floor seats to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Atlanta. And it turned into an empowering, disability-friendly girls’ trip made seamless by Atlanta’s accessibility and springtime vibes.
