## Summary

**Sports diplomacy** would be the core aim: the bill would create a time‑bound State Department program that uses major international sporting events hosted in the United States from 2024 through 2034 to boost U.S. soft power and global ties. - Families, athletes, and visitors: would get streamlined visa processing and reduced appointment wait times for athletes, staff, families, and eligible international visitors tied to the events. - Host cities, diaspora communities, creatives, and the sports industry: would be partnered with to showcase American culture, strengthen tourism and trade links, and use athletes and cultural programs to reach new foreign audiences. - U.S. foreign policy operations: would get a new Office of Sports Diplomacy inside the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs to run exchanges, coordinate across agencies, and publish a five‑year inaugural strategy within 180 days after enactment plus a second five‑year strategy and implementation reports every 180 days through 2034. The Office would sunset after 10 years.
