Santa Clara is "considering legal action" against the 49ers management company, claiming the agency "hasn’t turned over critical information to help the city prepare to host" the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Levi’s Stadium would be "one of 16 U.S. venues to host" the 2026 World Cup, but Santa Clara Mayor Lisa Gillmor said the 49ers -- who manage non-NFL events at the city-owned stadium -- "failed to meet a Feb. 1 deadline set by the Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury to provide the city with key documents" related to the upcoming event. The council is "considering subpoenaing the 49ers" or "using other legal methods to pry the documents loose if they can’t obtain them in the next month or so." Gillmor said that while the team "did turn over some documents," they "didn’t include information about the city’s requirements" (San Jose MERCURY NEWS, 4/5).
