The 2026 World Cup is already electrifying the Bay Area, with over 400,000 fans flooding Levi’s Stadium for six games — nearly 100% capacity every match. Average attendance hit nearly 69,000, proving global interest and local passion. From Austria’s long-awaited return and Jordan’s historic debut to Algeria’s stunning comeback win, the tournament delivered unforgettable moments. Fans roared for nail-biting games like Paraguay vs. Türkiye — a goal in under a minute — and capped off the Bay Area run with the USMNT’s first knockout win since 2002.
