FIFA reveals which teams will play World Cup matches in Mass.

FIFA revealed on Saturday that Gillette Stadium will be branded 'Boston Stadium' and host seven matches, including five group-stage games, during the 2026 World Cup.
Following the Friday draw in Washington, D.C., FIFA spent Friday night placing the 48 teams, balancing travel, time zones, and recovery before releasing the schedule.
Notable group fixtures include Haiti vs. Scotland on June 13, 2026 at 9 p.m., and Norway vs. Iraq/Bolivia/Suriname play-in on June 16, 2026 at 6 p.m.
Fans and organizers expect `We have around 400,000 Brazilian fans around Mass., so it will be a good crowd, a lot of barbecue going on` said Ruben Saget, a Brazil fan, as Boston prepares for seven World Cup matches, including local base camps and training sites.
The Round of 32 at Gillette will kick off at 4:30 p.m. on June 29 and the quarterfinal will begin at 4 p.m. on July 9, with opponents to be determined during the competition.
