Throughout the June 11-July 19 tournament, "PIF and its companies will deliver unforgettable experiences and drive innovative fan engagement initiatives to connect with the football community on the world's biggest stage", the fund said in a statement.
As an official tournament supporter, having signed for an undisclosed fee, PIF is among the third category of FIFA partners, at a regional level.
The top level of sponsors includes the likes of Adidas, Coca-Cola and Visa, but also, since 2024, Saudi oil giant Aramco.
The second category brings together businesses from the three host countries of the US, Mexico and Canada.
"PIF continues to expand its global footprint in sport, with football at the heart of this growth," PIF official Mohamed AlSayyad said.
The next World Cup in 2030 will be spread out between Spain, Morocco and Portugal, with three matches in South America. Saudi Arabia will then host the 2034 edition.
