Kim Kardashian and her son, Saint, announced the location of the U.S.M.N.T.’s first 2026 World Cup match: SoFi Stadium – home of the NFL’s Chargers and Rams – in Los Angeles, as she admits she’ll be ‘the most embarrassing soccer mom on the planet’ during the tournament.
On Sunday, the 43-year-old American socialite appeared on Fox Sports’ broadcast of the tournament’s match scheduling while donning a red and white Adidas tracksuit on top of a white crop.
She admitted to not following soccer as much as her eight-year-old son, who said the player he is excited to see represent the U.S. is Juventus midfielder, Weston McKennie.
The U.S. will start off its World Cup campaign in L.A. on June 12, before playing at Seattle’s Lumen Field – home of the Seahawks – a week later (June 19). Players will then return to the City of Angeles for a third and final group game on June 25.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino also revealed New York City to be the host city of the World Cup final, after much speculation that Dallas’ Cowboys (AT&T) Stadium could be where the biggest game in international soccer is played. MetLife Stadium in New Jersey – home of the Jets and Giants – is where the final will be played on July 19.
