"Seattle will host the USA's third group stage match against Australia on June 19, and an additional five 2026 FIFA World Cup matches. Team USA will no doubt be ready for the noon kickoff at the Sounders' home, where 69,000 people once created seismic activity measured on earthquake detectors. If you're looking for an authentic American football atmosphere rather than polite curiosity, Seattle delivers what most US markets promise but don't provide."
"In addition to the aforementioned USA game, Lumen Field visitors will witness three other group stage fixtures (Belgium vs Egypt, Qatar vs Playoff Winner, Egypt vs Iran) plus Round of 32 and Round of 16 knockout games. The stadium is easily accessible and full capacity is to be expected for each match. Lumen Fields sits downtown with actual public transit. Link light rail from the airport reaches the venue in 40 minutes, with no transfers, no complexity."
