Are you getting "the call"?

As the excitement for the biggest soccer tournament in the world continues to grow, millions of fans around the world are already talking about who will make their national team's roster. Sports radio programs, social media, family gatherings, and conversations among friends become filled with opinions, predictions, and debates.

For professional soccer players, few moments compare to receiving "the call" — the invitation to represent their country on the world's biggest stage.

We have all seen those emotional videos. A player sits with family members, anxiously waiting as the national team roster is announced. When their name is called, tears flow, hugs are exchanged, and years of sacrifice suddenly feel worthwhile. For many athletes, wearing their country's jersey is not simply another game. It is the highest honor of their career.

The call represents recognition. It validates years of hard work, commitment, and perseverance. It tells the player that they are ready to perform when the spotlight is brightest and the stakes are highest.

Businesses face similar moments.

Every year, major cultural celebrations, sporting events, festivals, and community gatherings create opportunities for brands to connect with new audiences. The World Cup is one of those moments. Across Minnesota, soccer fans from Latin America, Africa, Europe, Asia, and many other parts of the world will come together to celebrate their teams, their heritage, and their communities.

The question for businesses is simple: Will you answer the call?

Just as players prepare for their opportunity to represent their country, businesses should prepare to represent their brand where consumers are gathering, celebrating, and paying attention. The World Cup is only one of many opportunities. Throughout the year, Minnesota's diverse communities celebrate cultural festivals, heritage months, community events, and traditions that offer powerful ways for organizations to build authentic relationships and expand their reach.
