⚽As the world comes together for the FIFA World Cup 2026™, the opening whistle on June 11 signals a shared passion that unites fans and players across continents. Under the motto “We are 26”, this World Cup celebrates the power of soccer to bring people together. ⚽Today, as the first matches kick off, we wish everyone a great strike – from those officially representing their countries on the field to those inspired by the spirit of the game, taking a kick of their own at home. Wherever the game is played – from world-class stadiums to local backyards – science helps make performance possible. ⚽At WACKER, our solutions are part of the game behind the game: From high-performance silicones that enhance sportswear with breathability, softness, and water repellency, to materials used in plastics for modern sports equipment. And to construction chemicals that help shape stadium infrastructure around the world. Last but not least, advanced materials help ensure that the matches are seamlessly delivered to your devices – wherever you are. ⚽ In the end, everything is chemistry. ⚽ #FIFAWorldCup2026 #WeAre26 #WeAreWACKER #Silicones #ChemistryInAction
