FIFA World Cup 26™ SF Bay Area FAQs
How many visitors do you anticipate traveling to Santa Clara for FIFA World Cup 26™ SF Bay Area?
The entire Bay Area is anticipated to welcome approximately 260,000 visitors from outside of the region. This year’s tournament will be the largest in FIFA history, featuring an expanded 48-team format with matches hosted across three separate countries.
What can visitors expect in terms of hotel availability?
Based on trends from previous high-profile events at Levi’s® Stadium, hotel rooms in and around Santa Clara are expected to sell out quickly, especially at properties closest to the stadium. Some hotels have a three-to-four-night minimum stay, so visitors are encouraged to book early and enjoy the full experience.
