About Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Mercedes-Benz Stadium is one of the most stunning arenas in North America. Its retractable roof opens like a camera aperture — eight petals folding back to reveal the sky above. Home to the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United, the stadium hosts England's opening match against Croatia as well as Semi Final 2 on July 15.
Atlanta is a city with deep football roots through its MLS club and the World Cup arriving here feels like a natural fit. The stadium's engineering alone makes it worth the visit.
