Atlanta is one of eleven host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup — the first edition to expand to 48 teams and the largest sporting event in the city's history. Mercedes-Benz Stadium, one of the most technologically advanced stadiums in the world, is hosting seven matches across group stage and knockout rounds.
This Group E contest pits Czechia against South Africa — two nations arriving at the tournament's expanded format with different expectations and histories. For Atlanta, every match at MBS is a celebration of the city's position at the center of the world's game. There is no better venue in America to watch it.
