FIFA WORLD CUP

New York City

FISHKO Inc. was brought in as a production partner for the FIFA World Cup 2026 drone show, a 5,000-drone performance over New York Harbor, launched from Liberty State Park in New Jersey on three consecutive nights. With the Manhattan skyline as its backdrop, the show illuminated the harbor with imagery celebrating the tournament.

FISHKO Inc. managed physical production and supported flight operations, coordinating with city, state, and federal agencies to secure the necessary permits and approvals. The team oversaw site planning, infrastructure, power distribution, equipment, staffing, security, and logistics, from load-in through the overnight performances and final breakdown.
