FIFA President Gianni Infantino has visited the site of the FIFA World Cup 26 in Host City Philadelphia on April 10th, 2025 and met the leadership of Philadelphia Soccer 2026, the local organising committee.
The City of Brotherly Love will host six matches at next year’s tournament, which will be played from 11 June to 19 July 2025 and will be the biggest-ever with 48 teams playing in 16 Host Cities across three countries – Canada, Mexico and the United States.
Philadelphia is also the venue for eight games in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, putting it at the centre of the soccer world and making a total of 14 mouth-watering games which Mr Infantino likened to hosting “14 Super Bowls”. All matches will take place at Lincoln Financial Field, the home of the Super Bowl Champions Philadelphia Eagles.
