The @usmnt took the 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina right here in our backyard, and the energy around the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium was something special.

From the flags and chants to the families, travelers, and fans filling the streets, this match was more than a final whistle. It was a celebration of soccer, community, and the people who make moments like this feel bigger than the game.

To every fan who visited our destination, cheered from the stands, explored our city, and supported our hotels, restaurants, and local businesses, thank you.
Hosting the world has been an honor. Seeing Team USA win here made Santa Clara’s final match even more meaningful.

Thank you for bringing the energy, Santa Clara. What a summer of soccer! 🙏🇺🇸

“Fútbol: The Art of the Game” brings together Bay Area artists for a special exhibition inspired by soccer, community, and creativity. Each piece offers a new take on the sport, with one-of-a-kind works that incorporate a soccer ball or reimagine one through the artist’s own style.

Whether you’re visiting Santa Clara during the World Cup or live nearby, this is a fun stop for soccer fans, art enthusiasts, and anyone looking to see the game from a new perspective.

Tens of thousands of fans. Two proud nations. Another unforgettable night in Santa Clara. ⚽🌎

@jordan.fa and @algeria_fc brought the passion, the pride, and the energy as fans packed the San Francisco Bay Area stadium for a thrilling @fifaworldcup @sfbayarea26 match that kept the crowd engaged from start to finish.

Algeria earned a hard-fought 2-1 victory, but the atmosphere extended far beyond the final score. From the pre-match celebrations outside the stadium to the sea of flags and chants inside, supporters from both nations created a memorable experience.

Moments like these show the impact of the World Cup on Santa Clara. Fans from around the world are visiting our city, sharing their cultures, supporting local businesses, and creating connections through a shared love of the game.

Santa Clara is proud to welcome the world. 🌎❤️

Before Jordan and Algeria took the pitch at the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium, Santa Clara was already alive with World Cup energy.

Flags filled the streets. Chants echoed through the crowd. Fans from different cultures came together to celebrate the game, the moment, and the global spirit of the @fifaworldcup.

With 68,371 fans inside the stadium, the energy outside was just as powerful. More than a match, it was a reminder of what makes this tournament special: people from around the world, gathered in one city, sharing one love for the game.
