Frequently Asked Questions

Are all 2026 FIFA World Cup stadiums included?
Yes, all 16 venues for the 2026 World Cup across the United States, Mexico, and Canada are in this catalog: MetLife (NJ), SoFi (LA), AT&T (Dallas), Hard Rock (Miami), NRG (Houston), Mercedes-Benz (Atlanta), Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia), Lumen Field (Seattle), Gillette (Boston), Levi's (San Francisco), Arrowhead (Kansas City), Estadio Azteca (Mexico City), Estadio BBVA (Monterrey), Estadio Akron (Guadalajara), BMO Field (Toronto), and BC Place (Vancouver).
Where do stadium coordinates point: the entrance, parking, or the playing field?
Coordinates point to the center of the playing surface (the geometric center of the football pitch). This is the most useful reference for navigation and orientation. For arrival at the stadium, the entrance gates typically sit 50-150 m from the field center; use Apple Maps or Google Maps to plan transit/parking based on your specific section number.
What is the oldest stadium in this catalog and when did the World Cup begin?
Anfield in Liverpool is the oldest, opened in 1884 (Liverpool FC moved in in 1892). Old Trafford (Manchester) opened in 1910 and San Siro (Milan) in 1926. The first FIFA World Cup was hosted by Uruguay in 1930, and Estadio Centenario in Montevideo (built specifically for that tournament) staged the inaugural final on 30 July 1930, won 4-2 by Uruguay against Argentina.
Which stadium has hosted the most FIFA World Cup finals?
Estadio Azteca in Mexico City is the only ground to have hosted two World Cup finals: 1970 (Brazil 4-1 Italy) and 1986 (Argentina 3-2 West Germany). Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro hosted the decisive final-round match of the 1950 World Cup (Uruguay 2-1 Brazil) and the 2014 final (Germany 1-0 Argentina).

Why are some stadiums named "Estadio" or "Stadio" while others carry brand names like Allianz or Etihad?
"Estadio" (Spanish/Portuguese), "Stadio" (Italian), "Stade" (French), "Stadion" (German/Dutch) and "Stadium" (English) all mean the same thing in their respective languages. Names like Allianz Arena, Etihad Stadium, Emirates Stadium, Signal Iduna Park, BBVA Stadium and Mercedes-Benz Stadium come from corporate naming-rights deals, where insurance, airline, banking and automotive sponsors pay for branding. Traditional names (Old Trafford, San Siro, Anfield, Maracanã, Camp Nou) refer instead to the neighborhood, street, river or builder associated with the ground.
