The city of Boston returns to the international soccer spotlight as Beantown was one of the sixteen cities selected to be hosts for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Boston, more specifically Foxboro, witnessed the birth of the United States soccer fandom as Foxboro Stadium hosted six matches during the 1994 World Cup. Gillette Stadium went on to host five and four games during the 1999 and 2003 FIFA Women’s World Cup, respectively.
Each host city will host four to six games. On top of hosting the games themselves, Boston will also host fan fests throughout the city where fans can engage and enjoy the festivities!
