The Los Angeles World Cup 2026 Host Committee has named the historic Rose Bowl Stadium as one of two potential game sites for the 2026 World Cup during a virtual city workshop with FIFA and U.S. Soccer Wednesday, a Los Angeles Daily News report said.

The Host Committee also presented SoFi Stadium in Inglewood as the other game site, and Dignity Health Sports Park and Banc of California Stadium as potential training sites.

For the first time ever, the 2026 World Cup will be held in three host countries: the United States, Canada and Mexico, with up to 48 countries participating.

Sixteen cities will host up to 80 matches, with 60 of those matches at a U.S. City, including the final in either New York or New Jersey. Ten matches will have a Canadian city as a host, and 10 will be played in a Mexican city.

Los Angeles is one of the 17 finalists in the U.S. vying to host matches for the tournament.

Pasadena is part of the Los Angeles World Cup 2026 Host Committee, which also includes the Los Angeles Sports and Entertainment Commission, AEG and the Galaxy, SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park, Rose Bowl Legacy Foundation, Banc of California Stadium and LA Football Club, with support from the cities Los Angeles, and Inglewood.

The Rose Bowl has hosted the 1994 World Cup, where it was the most used venue among nine U.S. Cities. It also hosted the women’s 1999 finals, where the USA team won against China, and the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup Finals.

The stadium has also hosted group stage games of the 2016 Copa America Centenario, as well as several U.S. national team games and international friendly matches.
