2026 FIFA World Cup Philadelphia
Lincoln Financial Field
Lincoln Financial Field is located in South Philadelphia,
as part of the city’s sports and entertainment district.
With a capacity of 69,328, the stadium is home to the
Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL.
Construction of Lincoln Financial Field began in May 2001,
and less than 28 months later the stadium hosted it’s first ever
event, a sold-out football match between Manchester United
and FC Barcelona. Since its opening in 2003, the stadium has
hosted a variety of sports and entertainment events and has
seen its share of football matches. From serving as a venue
during the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2003, to playing host to
numerous CONCACAF events, including the Gold Cup Final
in 2015, it has proven to be an impressive football facility.
