Austria vs Jordan live updates: World Cup 2026 game latest score and news
Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, California
Among the venues for this World Cup is San Francisco, where the nearby Levi’s Stadium will be used — renamed for this tournament as the extremely catchy San Francisco Bay Area Stadium by FIFA due to its strict advertising protocols.
One of the exciting picks (in my opinion) as a World Cup host city, here’s what Jeff Rueter had to say about its inclusion for us back in 2022:
✍️ “San Francisco isn’t known for its soccer history despite hosting World Cup games in 1994 and 1999.
“The Bay Area is a popular tourism destination along the Pacific Ocean and roughly 60 percent of residents are Hispanic, Asian, African American, or Pacific Islander.
“Levi’s Stadium was opened in 2014 to host the NFL’s 49ers. Located in Santa Clara, it can seat 70,000 fans.
“San Jose, located closer to Levi’s, has its own lengthy history in soccer, including generations of Earthquakes teams and a strong grassroots scene.”
