World Cup Founding Season
Explore Your City

World Cup Passport

Twelve districts. One connected experience.

The CME World Cup Passport is a district-based challenge system designed to help you explore neighborhoods, discover businesses, and connect with employers during the World Cup season.

What Is the Passport?

The World Cup brings energy, visitors, and opportunity into the city. The CME Passport channels that energy into stronger hiring connections, increased visibility for local businesses, and community reinvestment.

As you explore districts, apply for jobs, attend events, and interact with businesses, you help activate the CME ecosystem across the city. Your participation also contributes to the Community Impact Engine, which helps unlock initiatives like the Free Lunch Initiative.

The more people participate, the more opportunity circulates back into the communities that make it possible. This early community is called The Village.

Powered by CME Local

The Passport works hand-in-hand with CME Local, the platform's district discovery layer.

When you're exploring Passport districts, CME Local shows you nearby businesses, employers currently hiring, local promotions and events, and Passport challenge locations, all in real time.

As activity increases across Passport districts, more users explore the area. This connects jobseekers, businesses, and district activity into a living, growing network.

Some Moments may be featured publicly across the platform, giving your experience visibility across the CME community.

Community Milestone

Unlocking the Free Lunch Initiative

One of the most visible outcomes of district activation. When participation levels reach certain thresholds, funding is unlocked through the Community Impact Engine.
