FIFA Fan Stadium Guide

Critical Logistics & Timing

Match Day Schedule: Recommend arriving 3–4 hours before kickoff to navigate heavy congestion and security.


Arrival Timeline:

  • 5 hours early: Leave the hotel.

  • 3 hours early: Arrive at the stadium area/parking.

  • 1 hour early: Be at the stadium gate for security screening.


Transportation Guide

Ride-Share Warning: Designated rideshare zones often face 30–60 minute waits post-match, with surge pricing reaching 3x–5x normal rates.


Shuttle Services: Include details on official shuttles typically running from Metrorail stations (like Northside or Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.) starting 3 hours before kickoff.


Private Transport:  Pre-book airport transfers, Sprinter Vans for groups, or chauffeured services, as these sell out months in advance.


Parking: All parking must be pre-purchased via the official FIFA parking website and is cashless.

Stadium Entry & Security

Clear Bag Policy: Strictly enforced. Approved bags must be clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC and no larger than 12" x 6" x 12".


Prohibited Items: No outside food or beverages (except factory-sealed water 20 oz. or less), professional cameras/tripods, or large flags exceeding 2m x 1.5m.


Digital Tickets: Tickets and hospitality passes are only delivered via the FIFA World Cup 2026 Official App. Charge your phone fully before heading to the stadium. We recommend putting your phone in 'Low Power Mode' to ensure you have enough battery to scan your tickets and find your ride home!"


Identification: International visitors must carry a passport to purchase alcohol; foreign driver's licenses are not accepted for alcohol service.

On-Site Amenities & Experience

Cashless Venue: Hard Rock Stadium does not accept cash for concessions, retail, or parking.

FIFA - things you must know to enjoy the World Cup
Perfect location - north of Miami and away from the traffic, a short drive away from interesting Miami neighborhoods, and just out of earshot of all the noise that comes with the Magic City.

The best place to stay in Miami for FIFA. 9 miles from the Miami Stadium, but close to everything that makes Miami the Magic City.
