"Boston World Cup visitors will get to see England. The 1966 champions, eight straight World Cup qualifications, often described as perennial underachievers, are carrying the weight of invented-the-sport expectations. The Three Lions travel to the USA with high hopes. Having played two straight EURO finals (albeit losing them both), they are now keen to put their name high on the world map and reestablish themselves as a force to be reckoned with."
"Boston fans are in for a treat, having in mind that they will also host France (Mbappé), Norway (Haaland), and the July 9 quarter-final, which will decide the two teams heading into the competition's semi-finals. Gillette Stadium hosts a total of seven FIFA World Cup 2026 matches. This includes five group stage fixtures through knockout rounds, where four teams fight for final-four berths."
England arrive in the USA as 1966 champions with eight consecutive World Cup qualifications and heightened expectations after two straight EURO final appearances. Boston will host matches involving England, France (Mbappé), and Norway (Haaland), including a July 9 quarter-final that determines semi-finalists. Gillette Stadium in Foxborough will stage seven FIFA World Cup 2026 matches, including five group-stage fixtures and knockout-round games that influence final-four berths. The venue opened in 2002, seats 65,000 in World Cup configuration, sits 30 miles southwest of Boston and 18 miles north of Providence, and relies on MBTA commuter rail. Gillette is home to the New England Patriots, six-time Super Bowl champions.
