The stadium lineup also includes the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles, CA, a historic venue with a capacity of 90,000, famous for hosting FIFA World Cup 94 matches and the USWNT and USMNT games. TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, OH, which opened in 2021, has quickly become a landmark for MLS and international football.
Other venues like GEODIS Park in Nashville, TN, Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA, and Lumen Field in Seattle, WA will provide a variety of atmospheres for the global showcase. Camping World Stadium and Inter&Co Stadium, both in Orlando, FL, are expected to be pivotal locations, particularly given Orlando’s history of hosting Concacaf and Special Olympics USA Games events.
