FIFA World Cup 2026 tickets Match 50 - Group - Mercedes-Benz Stadium - June 23

The FIFA World Cup 2026 is coming to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, and Match 50 on June 23 is one of the key games in the group stage. This means two national teams will face each other, trying to earn enough points to move on to the next round. Every team plays three games in the group stage, and only the best ones move forward, so this match could be very important.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium is one of the most modern stadiums in the world. It has a retractable roof, which means the game can be played in any weather, and a huge 360-degree screen, so you won’t miss any action. This stadium is home to Atlanta United (a top team in Major League Soccer) and the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. For World Cup games, FIFA changes the stadium’s field to a natural grass surface, since most professional soccer players prefer playing on grass instead of artificial turf.

If you’ve never been to a World Cup game before, it’s very different from any other soccer event. The energy in the stadium is incredible because fans from all over the world come together to cheer for their countries. In past tournaments, I’ve seen fans play drums, wave massive flags, and even sing non-stop for 90 minutes. If you sit near fans from a passionate soccer country, expect to learn some new chants by the end of the game!

For this match, tickets will have different price levels based on where you sit. The lower-level seats are closest to the field and usually the most expensive. Mid-tier seats give you a great overall view, and the upper deck seats are the most affordable but still offer a full view of the game. If you're bringing kids, sitting near the center of the field is best, since you can see both goals equally.

Since this is a group-stage match, it could feature any two teams, but no matter who plays, it will be an exciting game. At the last World Cup in 2022, group-stage matches included surprising moments like Saudi Arabia beating Argentina, which no one expected, and Japan defeating both Germany and Spain. These early games often bring shocking results, which is why some fans prefer them over later rounds.

If you plan to go, it's smart to arrive early since security lines can be long. Also, FIFA stadiums don’t allow big bags, so bringing only the essentials will make entry easier. Once inside, enjoy the atmosphere, meet fans from different countries, and get ready for one of the best soccer experiences in the world.
