Before kicking off at SoFi Stadium, there were concerns about the handling of the game, but Friday’s game went largely without a hitch.
The United States, which is hosting the tournament with Canada and Mexico, is scheduled to host 78 of the 104 World Cup games this year.
Here’s what to watch and tips for fans after the first US game in Los Angeles:
Place in transparent bags: Any bag larger than a backpack will not be allowed into the stadium, unless it is visible. So if you’re attending a game in the US, keep your wallet or purse at home and buy a decent looking bag if you have to.
Prepare for airport-like security: The process is pretty standard. Take it out of your bags, put your checked bag in the scanner and prepare to be checked in case the security gate rings.
Food and drink prices are high: $5.25 for a bottle of water… $5.75 for a small bag of crisps… As much as $21.50 for a beer. Expect to pay less than double the regular price for food and drinks at the stadium.
Get the ticket program: The gatekeepers at the stadium will not accept any other method of using FIFA’s software, FWC2026, when it comes to ticket validation. You can add a ticket from the app to your digital wallet before the game, but the screen and printout won’t, so make sure your phone is charged.
Cars are real: Many areas in the US do not have reliable public transportation, so driving is a permanent option.
Most of the host cities in the US are trying to facilitate the arrival of fans to the stadium without the need for a car. For example, Los Angeles has ordered buses to bring fans to SoFi Stadium from downtown parking lots. However, there was heavy traffic at the game on Friday. Gridlock remained for several hours after the game.
Be prepared to arrive early. Also, check local ads and the host city’s official website to find the best way to get to the stadium, especially if you don’t want to get stuck in the seemingly endless traffic.
The army and volunteers: In order to solve the possible problems, the designers of the US have filled the game with extra hands. There were hundreds, maybe thousands, of staff and volunteers who served as ushers and crowd supporters for the Los Angeles opener. Don’t be afraid to ask them for directions or help.
Legal aid everywhere: In general, US police are seen as more militaristic than their Western counterparts. Pa World Cuptheir presence has been greatly expanded. There were heavily armed officers from many agencies all around the stadium.
Don’t be too alarmed when you see a 20-year-old with a big automatic gun and some technical equipment at your next World Cup match. It’s just America.
Do not pet police dogs: As for the police, many officers travel with their sniffer dogs, which may look cute and harmless, but don’t try to tame them. The police won’t like it.
Brace for business culture: Take what’s happening in soccer marketing, and add US capitalism to it. What you get is what’s happening at this World Cup: Everything is sponsored.
Organizations – from soda companies to banks and car manufacturers – have a large presence around the stadium with stations to promote and sell their products.
Don’t expect much around the stadium: Most football stadiums around the world are built in the heart of their cities. They are surrounded by restaurants, cultural centers and neighborhoods right outside their gates. This is not the case in the US.
Due to the abundance of land, the advancement of motoring culture and the sprawl of US cities, many stadiums are located far from cities and away from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Depending on where your World Cup match is, it may not be worth relying on the stadium to provide anything other than football.
