New York New Jersey Stadium
FIFA confirms New York New Jersey Stadium as the final venue. Treat it as the anchor of any final-week plan.
Open guide →The stadiums to keep on your knockout checklist
The World Cup knockout stage turns the tournament into a moving stadium route. For fans, the useful question is not only who plays where, but which host cities make sense to follow, which grounds you can realistically tick, and where the final-week travel pressure will land.
Mexico City Stadium
The tournament opens at Estadio Azteca / Mexico City Stadium, one of the great World Cup grounds and a natural first checklist stop.
Open guide →Texas and west-coast routes
US host venues such as AT&T Stadium, NRG Stadium, and Lumen Field are easier to plan as city bases than as rushed day trips.
Open guide →How to plan it as a fan
Start with the stadium
Host cityGround tick
Save the host grounds you care about in Footbeen first. Then layer match tickets, fan zones and travel on top.
Keep the bracket flexible
FixtureFallback plan
A knockout route can change fast. Use refundable travel where possible and keep nearby football places on your map.
Use the match diary
MatchMemory
If you get inside, save the result, photos, rating and notes. If you are in the host city without a ticket, keep the stadium visit and fan-zone memory separate.
Official sources and safe next steps
Use FIFA for the official schedule, final venue and ticketing process. Footbeen does not sell tickets; it helps you plan and remember the matches and stadiums you actually attend.
FIFA schedule
Check fixtures, dates, teams and stadiums from FIFA before booking anything tight.
