FIFA World Cup 2026 Gets New Leader in Kathryn Lutoff-Perlo: Excited to Oversee Seven Super Bowls in Miami.
In her new role, Lutoff-Perlo is excited to lead the FIFA World Cup 2026 Miami Host Committee as she collaborates closely with Co-chairs Rodney Barreto and Beau Ferrari. With a long history in the cruise industry, Lutoff-Perlo has held various senior positions within Celebrity and Royal Caribbean International before separating from Royal Caribbean Group on April 25 to take on this new challenge.
Lutoff-Perlo’s experience in overseeing large events will be crucial in ensuring the success of the FIFA World Cup 2026, which will take place in Miami and attract over 600,000 fans and visitors. She is thrilled to be a part of such a significant event and describes it as akin to overseeing seven Super Bowls.
As part of her new role, Lutoff-Perlo will work closely with South Florida’s public and private sector leaders to ensure that the collaboration is strong. Additionally, with Royal Caribbean being the main partner of Inter Miami CF, Lutoff-Perlo’s involvement in the world of fútbol continues to grow.
