Philadelphia, popularly called Philly, is a city that offers a unique blend of past and present, where cobblestone streets meet cutting-edge cuisine and world-class art, which is not necessarily confined
within the four walls of a museum. This year, as USA is gearing up for the 23rd FIFA World Cup, along with Canada and Mexico, Philadelphia will be in the thick of the action. Of the 11 US cities that will host matches, six matches will be held at Philly’s Lincoln Financial Field. These include first-round games featuring Brazil on June 19, 2026 and France on June 22, 2026.
Despite being overshadowed by bigger US cities, Philly quietly wins visitors over with its rich cultural mix. The city also offers swift, seamless immigration compared to some of the major US hubs.
